Following the Leader

Sunday night I popped in to say hi to Char and Andy who are looking after their grandchildren. Sara and John's place is great for them to play and room to move around in too. When I arrived, Sierra and Ethan were bouncing on the trampoline (glad someone invented that toy - the kids love it). While visiting with Char, Ethan was copying his big sister by following her around the yard with his wagon. They pretended they were off to work and would walk by saying "goodbye Laura" - "bye Lola" plus they would run up to me and give me a big hug too. Must admit it was so adorable. Their parents will be back mid-week and I am sure they will receive some of those same hugs. If you need a hug - Sierra and Ethan are the ones to give them to you (Ocean too) - they just make your day. FYI - in the background, see that beige canopy? With my back facing west therefore getting both afternoon and evening sun - that will be perfect for the backyard. The great thing - it can be nailed to the deck so I can have part sun-part shade for next summer - let me tell you - I can't wait to have a deck and I can open those patio doors!!! Yipeee!!!
