Visits with the grandchilluns have no equal!! I love the hugs I get from the three oldest ones (that live close enough to get hugs from) - it is pure heaven for my soul! I love to be loved by them. One of them actually fell asleep in my lap last night - she's nearly 7 - she just curled up in my lap, I gave her some leg caresses, and in a bit she was gone. Our 9 year old grandson hasn't yet reached the stage where he doesn't want hugs and I dread when that happens.

The weather has been fabulous. I'm loving my peonies, the birds are resting in the clematis, the roses are starting to bloom and it's great to be here.
