This was a busy weekend for me. I went down to visit, play with, and enjoy my grandchildren and their parents. Before Mandy and Matt went out for dinner and a movie, I sat talking with them. I love that. It is always interesting to hear their views on things and they always leave me with things to consider.
They departed and I went up to the Lego room, where the three of us played Legos for well over an hour. Mandy also has Alexa and I admit it was very fun to ask “Alexa, play Magic by David Paton and Pilot”! And she replied “Playing Magic by David Paton and Pilot” and the song played. I asked Savannah if she had ever heard this song, and she said, she had on a commercial. Smart kid!
Dinner was fun, Mac & Cheese for Savi and Quinn wanted chicken noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup? I didn’t even know he knew what that was! But he did and he loves it!
I ate something new. Italian chicken meatballs. They were 3 points for 4 meatballs. So, I cooked 8 thinking 6 points wasn’t too bad for the protein portion of my dinner. Then, while eating with the kids, Quinn asked if he could have one of my meatballs. He loved it and had two!
I always love being with the kids because I learn more and more about them and I feel that special bonding.
This time was so wonderful. In the evening, Quinn covered my legs with a blanket and then climbed up and sat right in my lap, snuggling.
Quinn and me. Well, that’s my sweater behind his head!
I have never been one of those grandmothers that demand affection from their grandchildren. When they want it, I am here. Well, this time Quinn wanted me and I was there. On Sunday morning as I was getting ready to leave he told me how much fun it was to hang out with me! Friends, that was the frosting on my grandmother’s cake!
I stopped to get some groceries and arrived home to dogs who were happy to see me. In fact, Arnie hadn’t eaten much while I was gone. After a bit, they were all back to normal.
We got some interesting news from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
Punxsutawney, Pa. – The results are in: On Groundhog Day 2020, in Gobbler’s Knob, Punxsutawney Phil could not find his shadow. And as the legend goes, this means we’re in for an Early Spring.

The Pennsylvania Groundhog isn’t the only weather-predicting rodent in this quirky American tradition, but he is the most famous.
And according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, his opinion is the only one that matters.
This is only the 20th time out of 124 in his recorded history (there are 10 years where no record remains) that Phil hasn’t been able to find his shadow.
Even so, Phil is usually wrong, and meteorologists aren’t too sure Phil’s suspicions are right either.
But it is fun to watch all the same. There is a funny movie with Bill Murray called “Groundhog Day” that will make you laugh.
So, that was my weekend. A good one all around.
Sounds like you had a great weekend.
Good to hear you had a good and by the sound of it, quality time with your grandchildren. The Lego room sounds like a place that should not be visited with bare feet.
Lego room, I don’t believe they came west of the Mississippi river.
