Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny-Go!

"Grandma" is out of control and Lynette has officially given up trying to keep up with her.

Kathie started yesterday morning making Lynette and the girls French toast and orange juice. (Aren't we supposed to be "helping" her???) Then got us going out to the park to feed the ducks with a bag of bread and stale popcorn. I never knew ducks liked popcorn. On the way to the park, we picked up Kathie's newly coiffed wig which looked eerily more Kathie-like than it already had. We left the wig on the styrofoam head sitting in the car to scare passers-by while we went to the park. Kathie finally sat down to take a rest while Jackie, Lynette, Sophie and Kaitlyn rode the park train. But she didn't sit for long, as right behind her was a shopping opportunity (a little craft store next to a senior citizen bingo hall). We weren't sure whether to look for her sitting at a table yelling "bingo!" or in the store, but then we saw her in the store window. Busted.

After the park we just might have hit the ice cream shop....for the kids, of course-- and then we ran a couple other errands.

Back home for lunch and then Kathie is ready to go again. WHAT? Lynette is ready for a nap. Which she is embarassed to say she stayed home and took while the kids watched tv and Kathie and Jackie ran back out.

Kathie and Jackie get back home, but Kathie's not ready to sit yet. She makes a redneck sprinkler/water fall on the deck for the kids by hanging a hose from a hook in the roof. She'd like it to be referred to as an "invention." So the kids played in her invention on the deck for quite awhile while we watched. Like Jackie said, "there's more to Indiana than just corn."

We finished the night with a nice dinner and yummy peach pie brought over by Kathie's neighbor Maryann. Thanks Maryann!!! Mmmmmmmmm. Jackie headed off back to South Bend (boo hoo) and Lynette and Kathie packed. Bob got home from a business trip late that night.

This morning Lynette, Sophie and Kaitlyn left for home followed by Kathie and Bob to North Carolina to go raise a little heck at their house being built. Don't mess with Kathie and Bob when building their house...

Hopefully it will be a slow news week until chemo treament again, as no news is probably good news. : )
