From Nashville, Tennessee I plan on motoring on to St. Cloud, Minnesota to see my sons and grandchildren. Especially want to see Chunky Monkey. He is not chunky anymore. He is now tall and very slim. Got him his favorite present for his birthday in May. A case of Coco Cola in bottles. He has loved them all of his life. His parent do control the frequency of him getting a coke.
I want to see The Boss Lady. She thinks at 2 years old she can boss her parents, uncle and her brother and sister. She finds out at different times that her father will not let her boss. Her favorite word is telling everyone “NO”.
Lastly want to see my beautiful and smart granddaughter. She started her life with me and stayed with me until she was nearly 3. There is a 20-year gap between her and my oldest granddaughter. She is in high school taking some college courses. Very proud of her.
My oldest granddaughter was home last weekend and we had dinner in Laurel. She and her husband were here from Pearland, Texas.
