August 3

      Grandad, Daniel, Luke, and Misty were up around 6 a.m. to go fishing.  Collectively they caught 10 fish, but the big one got away.
      Grandad got the fire ready and the kids got the doughnuts ready to fry.  While we waited for them to rise, we had our Bible time.  The topic from Proverbs was contentment.
      We got a late start with breakfast.  The doughnuts were yummy, and they went fast.  After we cleaned up our mess, we raised the flag and said the pledge of allegiance.
      Inside out of the heat, we had a hot card game going on, while Gracie and I watched the Cosby Show.
      Luke chose Dairy Queen for a late lunch.  We were a house divided.  Four had hamburgers, and four had chicken strips.  Daniel entertained us with his origamy while we waited for Gracie to finish her ice cream.  She gave up when she started having a brain freeze.
      Back at the house, the kids got on their swim suits and headed for the pool.  And then more card games.
      About 5 o'clock Daniel and Luke went fishing again.  Kyle and Misty worked on getting the printer working like Raiford wants it to.  ???
      Cards, dominoes, and Rummikub.  This is a competitive bunch.
      Grandad grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for supper.  We had s'mores too.  Yum.  While we were outside they played some word games I had never heard of.
      We cleaned up our mess, and then they were ready for their showers.  I hear them talking about playing Monopoly.  Do they know how long it takes to play a game of Monopoly?  And we have
to get up early tomorrow.  They all want to go to the early service at church.  We'll see.
      We enjoy having these kids around.  Thanks for letting us have them here this week.
