Hi everyone.

Had a great time last week. The trip to Lake Wildwood was sooo much fun. I loved seeing my kids, grandkids, and other assorted relatives. I also got to spend quality time with my grandkids in Rockford.

We're back home now with our oldest grandson, Corey. He's 11 and wants to do it all. Yesterday, we did the beach. He had a ball and loved the water. Unfortunately, while I was warning everyone about sunscreen, I neglected to put any on my back. Guess who's red? Thank God for aloe vera.

Today we went to the Swap Shop. Walked forever, but had fun and found a few bargains. When the heat index lowers (its 107 degrees at the moment) Corey and Bruce will drop a line off the dock and go for a dingy ride.

Trying to keep a kid occupied for 10 days is a task, but I think we have a plan. A movie one day, the Sawgrass Mills Mall another, a visit to a friend's house for a swim party, and a trip to Marathon in the Keys to see the Dolphin Research Center. Of course, the beach is mandatory at least 2 more times.

I should have grandkids down more often. I'm doing things I haven't done in years. The beach is five miles away and we rarely go. I can't remember the last time we went to the Swap Shop, and while I've been in Marathon, I never stopped by the Dolphin Center.

Better go for now. More later.
