Grandkids are the best. Judy and I have 5 children, and we have been blessed with 7 almost 8 grandchildren ( almost is due in September). We moved to the Lake back in 2006 thinking that we would get to spend a lot more quality time with the kids and they would have a nice place to come for a break in the everyday grind of getting by. We get to see them, not as much as we want too, however the time we get is quality!

We had my daughter, her husband and two of the grandkids here for the last 4 days.They had to go home this morning, I'm sad about it, this home place is really lonely and very quiet right now. I told my Grandson this morning that the only way he can come back is to go home.....He looked at me and smiled then hugged me. Sophie don't like goodbyes much, she went to the car. She was waving when they pulled out. I'm already looking forward to them coming back.

We had a ball....We caught fish, went swimming, tubing and Brian taught us how to catch crawdads!
