Yesterday we had a good afternoon starting with lunch at Jerry and Doris'. Their grandchildren met us in the driveway when we drove in very excited about a new grave. They led us to the vegetable garden where we had to put our hand over our heart to enter, in respect for Ronnie. There was a newly dug grave, circled with fresh flowers and a 2x4 marker that said Ronnie and the date. Ronnie was a racoon who got caught in Jerry's live trap! Jerry drowned him and then they had the funeral. Jerry also has a woodchuck living in the garden--the carrots had no tops. He filled in the hole, put a cement block over it and hopes Mr. Woodchuck died.
We heard about their day at the water park, a week at camp etc. Audra said Dave is keeping busy with his auto repair business. She is nursing at two locations. Caleb is about 6' tall and wears braces, a good looking boy.
Heidi looks and sounds like Rene. She has braces too and must be a big help with the baby. Molly is cuddly and wants to show off everything. She took me to the place in the backyard where they had a hot dog roast. Matthew was hoping Jerry would take him to Outdoor World after we left. (sporting goods store) He likes fishing.
Jerry feels nearly back to normal. They are probably both taking naps today, Doris looked very tired yesterday! The girls left early today in the van they rented so they could all be travelling together.
To be continued: Love, Mother/Grandma
