Kelly spent alot of time working in Nanny's yard & fixing little things in the house. Trimmed
tree & bush branches, dug out tree roots, cleaned out roof storm catchers, pulled weeds &
replanted a flower garden, weed whacked & racked pinecones. Planted some plants, mowed
lawn & he & Nanny shopped for a sit-down lawn mower & he spent an afternoon teaching
Patty how to drive it & get it back through the small shed door!! She hopes she doesn't take
out the back of the shed if she's to slow at hitting the brakes!! Ha! Ha! She still doesn't want
to move out west yet! Seems happy to stay there as long as she can!
We did find time a couple of days to shop at the beach stores & spend some lazy hours on
the beach enjoying the sun, the breeze, walking the beach & getting in the water. The
oceon was a bit of a chill this time of year. Had to catch a few quick breaths entering the water.
I spent a good part of the time enjoying the water. Kelly mostly read, "The Host" by Meyer &
his can of raid spraying the bitting flies. He's easily entertained, I swear give him a can of
raid & somekind of insect & you'd think it was the thrill of a lifetime!!!! I don't ever remember
being bothered by flies before, must be seasonal.
We did enjoy a dinner cruise around the bay one evening! Great food! Beautiful night lights
& we had a live band who played a couple of our favorites & we did a bit of dancing!!! Uh-la-la!!
Good time! Much more enjoyable than last time when Kelly was hobbling around on his crutches!
I had to coach Paco a couple of times but soon he was saying Shaun! Shaun!!! Shaun again!
Sorry Ashley! In the short time I coudn't get him to say you name! You'll have to plan a
visit!! I tried to find the little turtle Nanny Pat nearly ran over with the lawn mower but
couldn't find him. I was going to take him home to Annika!! But, no luck!
Vacation was over to soon & friday we drove back to Jacksonville, had a nice steak dinner at
"The Longhorn", wish they had one here! Then caught an early flight back home! We were
shocked to hear it was back up to 105 degrees in Phoenix again. I thought we'd left that
behind!!
Last week I watched Jathen & Brylee while Michelle & Jon were off to New York! Sorry!
I locked myself out of the house & had to call Michelle right while she was trying to enjoy
the sights from the Empire State Bldg. OOps! Ashley & I had worked on tying a quilt
while I was there & I was helping her & Emmery back out to the car to take her home &
I had one set of keys but not the other & that day I had'nt left the back door unlocked.
One night I took Jathen to his Karate class & watched him earn his Yellow belt!! Go
Jathen! I heard alot of "Back Off"!!!!! He did great!
