Granddaughter Emmy and her dad Yancey visited us over the weekend. For 13 years, Emmy was our youngest grandchild, but that position was assumed by Silas in 2021.
It
was just a quiet weekend at the farm – visiting, yard games, Scrabble,
Dominoes, more talking, etc. Friday evening son Clint rode out to have
hamburgers with us. Yancey and Emmy drove back to town Saturday morning for
some sightseeing. Yancey showed Emmy our old house, the schools he attended,
etc.
The
aerator in the pond hasn’t been doing its job, so with Emmy’s assistance, Mike
rowed out – that’s not far – pulled up the aerator, and gave it a good
cleaning. Yancey and I stood on the bank, took pictures, and ran errands. The cleaning wasn't enough to solve the problem. Mike has now ordered a kit to make the repair.
Emmy
and I discovered a common interest in Harry Potter. I’m listening to the series
on Audible, and Emmy is a “Harry Potter nerd,” as her dad puts it. In talking
with her about Harry and his story, I realized how much I have failed to grasp.
No matter – we had some fun with it. I showed her the Department 56 “Harry Potter Village,” and we selected “The Burrow” for her room.
Yancey and Emmy weren’t noisy, but now that they’ve left, it’s really quiet. KW
Sounds like it was a perfect weekend! So glad for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris! Yes, we just wish we could get together more often. Emmy is playing basketball this summer, and this was the only weekend she didn't have a tournament game. It was such fun, and we wee so happy to do it.
