TUESDAY

We went to the zoo. Saw native creatures that I don't want to meet in the wild, like cougars, and black bears but I know they are around. One girl not feeling well. Jan has offered to keep all the grandkids today to give us a respite.

Older boy is a great help. He knows the what, where and how of things around the house that we need to know. Older girl not feeling well. Hope Motrin will help her feel better. She doesn't cope well with being sick - a normal reaction.

Toddler misses parents, but too young to verbalize or understand why they are gone, or that they will return. Younger girl doing fine. Sticks to Grammie (that's me!!)

A dead skunk by the roadside. Everytime we go by, we have a discussion about black and white kitty kats.

Older two are practicing for piano recital on Saturday. One is diligent, the other not. He might prefer playing the trumpet.

We're slowly getting used to the routine - no big problems yesterday- but it is a full time job for two people. A new appreciation for our daughter, who is relaxing in Nashville while hubby is at convention.

Typical Oregon weather - cloudy, cool, could rain.
