Our Grandson...

In the middle of all the household upheaval, we received a message from our grandson. He and his girlfriend were visiting her friends in Louisiana. I shared with Paul that I was from Louisiana and told him where I was born and where I grew up. Somehow, he had never made that connection. 

Then he said they wanted to stop in Kentucky on their way back to Michigan and were wondering if they could visit. They would arrive the afternoon of July 5th and leave the morning of July 6th. We arranged for Andie and the Mini's to meet them in Frankfort at the Salato Center so they could visit with Paul and Leels. 

When Paul and Leels arrived she was exhausted. Paul doesn't drive so Leels did all the driving. They had attended a 4th of July party and left there after midnight to drive to Kentucky. The drive is over 12 hours and they were worn out.

As good fortune would have it, we were between painters and carpet people. We had access to both bedrooms upstairs and the air mattress was already set up in the basement. We pointed Leels to the guest room and she went right to sleep after getting a big glass of ice water. 

We had the afternoon to visit with Paul. Leels woke up once and then went back to bed. 

The plan had been to go to dinner in Georgetown. At 6pm we decided to pull out things for dinner with Paul so that Leels could continue to sleep. She woke up and joined us for dinner. Then back to bed she went. Paul continued to visit with us but at one point his head started to nod and we suggested he might have a better day if he got a long night's sleep. He quickly agreed and he was off to the basement for a good night's sleep. 

In the morning they were both ready for the rest of their road trip. We had breakfast and took a great selfie before they left to join Andie and the Mini's on their way home.

Short visit but very happy when family wants to visit.
