Dustin, Dustin, Dustin!!

Dustin loves Cane's, a chicken chain here.  Today we dropped him at school and left for errands.  Got back an hour later and he was in the library reading and waiting for us.  As soon as he saw us he said, "I didn't take my white pill this morning because I want to stop at Cane's!"  I couldn't believe he did that!  It's a good thing his class was cancelled today because the white pill is the one that keeps him calm and able to concentrate.  It also takes away his appetite and he knows it.  Obviously we stopped at Cane's.  He got the big meal and ate almost all of it!  Guess I'm going to have to pay more attention when he takes his medicine!

Grandkids!!

Grandkids, you gotta love 'em!  Even though sometimes you want to wring their necks!!  We are supposed to be picking Carlos up at his school everyday this week and next at 4:45.  He wants to run track and needs a ride home after practice.  No problem; it's out of the way but that's okay.  So yesterday Chad calls and says, "Carlos forgot he has a meet today so don't go to get him we will pick him up after the meet."  Great, no problem and one less trip to Bedford and then Euless.  Today we are 3/4 of the way to his school about 30 minutes before pick-up time.  My cell phone rings and the caller ID says it is Chad.  When I answer he says, "Seems Carlos forget practice was cancelled today.  He's already home."

I think Carlos has a problem with his memory or sense of responsibility.  I think he and grandma are about to have a conversation on his sense of responsiblility or he may get a lesson in such when he has to walk home!  I hate how irresponsible some kids are today and I do not intend for my grandson to be one, no matter how he has to learn that lesson!  After all, he's not a baby.  He's in the 7th grade!

Samantha Loved The Opry

Samantha's trip to the Opry was a hit!  She loved the whole experience from riding to the second floor in the elevator to the music and visiting with the "stars."  I wish I'd taken my camera.  We sat in the balcony and she stood at the railing part of the time singing right along with whom ever was on stage.  She sat next to one of the performer's husband and enjoyed him chatting with her about music and his girls.  When Cathy came to visit with us during intermission and brought us some CDs, Samantha felt very important.  They will be taping some RFD-TV shows there next month and I hope I can take her for a little of it.  Too bad she will be in school those days.  Taping goes till 7 pm so we might make a little of it.  I know she would be fascinated by that.

The Grapevine Opry/Palace Theatre in Downtown Grapevine.  One of my favorite things about Grapevine is how well we preserve our buildings and history here.  I believe the theatre was built in the 1940s.

Thank You Aunt Cindy

Sure is nice that Aunt Cindy's girls are all grown up and she still likes buying things for little girls!  Thank you Cindy for my pretty new pink outfit.  It fits perfectly!  Love you, Samantha.

Oh Yes!

Look what I found outside my door yesterday.  Come on Mother Nature, bring on Spring!

Dustin's Hair

Our friend Traci worked her magic on another of us.  Dustin insists on her cutting his hair so he went to the salon today after class.  Thanks Traci for making his day!

Lunch With Christy

Today after class we had lunch with Christy to belatedly celebrate her birthday.  Here is a picture of her and Dustin!
