Good Night Ladies...!

[Bearlyhere]

How are the Grandkids and your family, GE?

 

What can I say two are teenagers and know every thing. Youngest one talks non stop.   We have good days and bad days. Daughter finely got to move her computer home so she is working from home now.  They are adjusting pretty well to their new schools. Even with the ups and downs I love having them here. I missed them at Christmas when they went to California. But admit it was nice having peace & quiet for a couple weeks.
I really wouldn't want to be a teen in todays world. What a good mom helping with his contacts. 

I am glad things are going well. I think I will call it a night. Been a very long day here.
So Good Night & Sweet Dreams
Take Care & God Bless
XOXO

Good night and sweet dreams, GE!

2NJ...Happy Birthday...!!!  Thanks for all you do.  You may have the rest of San's
cheesecake....I'm sure she saved you some.

CBB....how are things going at your place.  I have a good visual....lol.  I don't think the shower police will be watching....maybe a sink bath would be okay.  Is it that they want him to walk?

Thanks for all the responses on "you know you are from Louisiana".  2NJ...re the
nutria.  Most high school teams have names like the Cubs or the Tigers....but,
even though nutria is more likely to be road kill, some of those rural schools will
choose a name like that or perhaps "swamp rats".
