Back to being a grandmother...

---

I have neglected this blog for so long. The last time I wrote anything, it was somewhat morose and despondent. This should be a nice change.

I have tried to spend as much time as I can with my grandchildren, and let me tell you; it is time well spent -life enrichment therapy. That is actually an accurate description. My daughter is loving and kind; my grandchildren with their uniqueness are just a blast to be around. The younger set of twins, now 2 and a half, are talking up a storm, and it is so cute to hear them talk. Before they could say "Blake" or "Derek" - their twin 6 year old brothers - they called Blake "Bubba" and Derek "Dodo". It is just too cute! They are still remarkably small for their age, so to hear their cute little voices...it's just a cute age. Now even though they can say their Blake and Derek, the nicknames have stayed for now, possibly for a long time, but the funniest part is when Katelyn is running after just one of her older brothers, she'll be saying; "Dodo Bubba wait; Dodo Bubba...". So it seems that the complete nickname combo is now interchangeable regardles of who they are playing with. Too funny!

So, as long as I spend adequate time with my family; I'm fine. School is kicking my ass. If I can't complete this course, bye bye school. It will be tough, however to live wiwth myself if that happens. With that thought, I close this blog post so I can start my writing. I've done all the reading, but no writing assignments, and the instructor is being infinitely flexible and patient. So off to school I go.

I will make an attempt to write more often.
