What A Great Day

[Lenny]

We started out the day food shopping. Then we went down to the kids and we all went to the mall to take advantage of "Tax Free Day." We bought school clothes and supplies for Chase to begin school. Not only was it tax free but the stores jumped on the band wagon and had great sales so we not only didn't have to pay tax, but items were 40% to 50% off. Then we all went to eat lunch. After that, we took Chase home with us to spend the night. We took him to the Y.M.C.A. and swam in the pool for a couple of hours. Now we are home taking baths and showers getting ready to wind down the day by watching the new "Thomas The Train Movie............Thomas Gets Tricked" while munching on some Pop Corn.

We had a great day.........they just don't get any better than this with kids and grandkids. Thank you Lord!

Hope you all enjoyed your day too.

Gee.....I wonder what Chase will want Pop Pop to make for breakfast tomorrow morning?

You are truly a lucky man, Lenny. Not lucky that you have kids and grandkids near you, but lucky in that you know what you have and are able to appreciate the everyday beauty that exists in school-shopping, swimming and breakfast with a child. I've got 6 grandchildren and they all live fairly close by. They range in age from 6-16 and if I bump into one of them at the super-market, it,s a special day for me. Even if I saw them yesterday. Keep enjoying them. You have got so many great things ahead of you!

Thanks.........I thank God for them every day. Later on there will be the joy of watching them play Little League Baseball, Soccer and even school activities like grandparents day and watching them perform on stage at school. The little items they make at school for you for father's day or birthdays and Christmas. All counted as joy, as every grandparent knows.
