A Week of Granny Sitting with our Grand Daughter

After a quiet weekend together Brandon picked me up on Sunday afternoon to go spend the week with Kinley. She has had a sinus infection for about six weeks, gone through every antibiotic to no avail and is just recently coming off two weeks of antibiotic injections. The doctors have said she needs to stay out of day care for about six weeks so her immune system can recover. She is the perfect little baby, and such a joy to be around. I don't receive gold stars for cooking and cleaning for the kids while I was there last week, but this "Mary Poppins" Memaw had a blast playing, talking, rocking and singing to Kinley. Her other Grandma is with her this week and I am invited back next week. Yea Buddy! "Life is Good Today!" It was good to return to our motor home and Billy on Friday. On Thursday before I returned on Saturday, Brandon and Lori gave me a gift certificate to Sports Academy to buy the Kavu pocketbook that I have been lusting after for a while. What a great Mother's Day gift. We had planned to all be together on Saturday for Mother's Day; however, Lincoln has a cold that we cannot expose to Kinley. Brandon and Lori visited with Kinley on Saturday and Brandon cooked some Soy Chicken for us on the grill. On Sunday we met Caroline, Sam, Lincoln, Phil, Beverly, Kim, Mack, Meghan, Edee, Leslee, Carle, Kelly, Whit and Kevin at Zaxby's in Washington for another Mother's Day celebration. Thank you and thank you for the beautiful flowers Caroline. We are so thankful for our wonderful children and grandchildren. This morning Maggie took a walk and saw a huge doe right near our motor home. She was not afraid of us at all....this time. Just a short while ago I was peacefully reading under the awning when I noticed that Maggie (off leash) was stalking something. I looked up and saw the big doe right behind our motor home and looking in our direction. She stared for a while and than began to make a dash across the street into the forest. Maggie took chase and I took chase after Maggie. The deer slipped in the pine straw and leaves and Maggie was only a couple feet away. The HUGE doe recovered and stood up and turned around and bowed out at Maggie. The doe stared at the two of us and made loud noises. Maggie was still only a few feet from her. Thankfully, after much blustering the deer turned to run and Maggie intelligently decided not to give chase. I had no idea that a deer would defend herself any other fashion than running. Spaghetti for dinner and a quiet afternoon is on the schedule for the remainder of today. "Life Is Good!"
