Today, Faith, Tess & I went out to see Grandma & Papa. Faith played hide & go seek with Papa. Tess & I packed up books mum wants us to keep or take to the library. Hey, look, more stuff! The good news, I got a bookshelf to put them on!
I like going out there. Tess had an old creamer & sugar cup to show mum. It was from her parents' anniversary in the 50's. She looked surprised, but in that happy, remembering way. She remembered the day, the table decor, etc of the day. So neat. Mum said something about her siblings not remembering what Grandma looked like (her mom), & I made a quip @ her seeing her last, I was talking @ when she was walking with the angel, seeing her mum, etc. But she made a crack first that no, they all saw Grandma at the same time when she died. I am glad I can be entertaining to someone! (Of course, my kids say I am "funny" too, but I am not sure that is a good thing!)
It was funny watching Papa & Faith playing hide & seek. First Faith hid in the exact same place 3 times & he lost her 3 other times! She was giggling & laughing. She was cracking me up.
What a time in our lives as well. Martin Luther King Jr. day, when my 5 year old can tell me about how he has changed the world & tomorrow a black man will become president of the united states, close by President Abraham Lincoln's monument & the one that fought for freedom of slaves. If this doesn't cover it from one end to the other. It is amazing. After all, Mr. Obama is a writer, he can't do too bad!

P.S. Jim (her father) hasn't called to talk to Faith in over a week.
