Well, today was the birthday party for my first grandson, Joshua. He is the only 3 year old I know who wanted a weed whacker for his birthday. I kid you not- that was his greatest desire. We searched high and low for that little piece of plastic and noise but to no avail. I suspect he was not the only 3 year old that requested one after all. Fortunately, Nanna and Poppa in Port Orange, Plorida came through in great style, with the desired present. We found the stuffed elelphant that made his eyes twinkle so I was satisfied. I followed him around as he pretended to whack the weeds in his yard and literally had to tie him down to keep him from taking care of the neighbor's weeds, too. The sweetest thing I saw from him today was at the dinner table. He had to make sure his elephant was included and there they both sat Joshua with one arm around the elephant and the other hand eating his hotdog. It made me smile inside. God love him, he is one determined individual and his mom and dad definitely have their hands full. He is so inquisitive and he's fearless. This is not necessarily good at this age but oh the exploits he will do one day for the kingdom of God. He will be looking for weeds and anything else that requires cutting down to size. Oh, how I love him!
Of course, as I informed you yesterday, I love all my grandchildren to pieces. They are the brightest, most beautiful, and fun-loving kids I know. I tell you the truth. Would I lie to you?
My grandmother's delight weekemd is almost over. Aliya and Zaynah are having a sleep over tonight. Joshua begged to come to and I hated to turn him down but not more than I would have hated driving the 45 minutes to take him home in the middle of the night. His time will come. We will clean house, shop a little and call it a day early tomorrow so I can prepare for the upcoming 4 day work week.
Five days and counting until we leave for vacation (fingers still crossed).
Those are my thoughts for today such as they are.
God Bless!
