I was driving away from the senior center parking lot this afternoon when I spotted a handsome young man and took him home with me (after checking with his Dad first!) - our grandson! It was a happy coincidence for me that I was there as he was walking to his Dad's office from the AC. He was carrying a bag of popped microwave popcorn to share with his Dad - sweet!
At our house, I brought out the licorice vines and Tootsie Roll Pops that his aunt had bought for him and he enjoyed those along with some milk and a cantaloupe wedge.
First thing he asked when he walked in was where was the Grand Canyon jigsaw puzzle he had bought me! I assured him I still had it (I do) but had put it away in the closet. It's a 500 piece puzzle that he and his aunt started during his visit but I have no desire to complete it! I offered to pay him for it and then donate it to the senior center where people like to do jigsaw puzzles but he refused.
He said his Dad brought him an X Box 360, whatever that is! He was regaling me by naming all the different Pokemons. There are quite a few and some of them can make eggs or some such. I can't say that I really understand that yet!
I hiked the Hike of Death (so named by my sister during a hot hike on it), the White Rock Canyon Rim Trail this afternoon. I went from the Blue Dot trailhead to Sherwood and back whilst beset by rain (unfurled my bumbershoot) and thunder and lightning for the first two miles. I screamed out loud during some of the thunder. It was dumb of me to walk in that but I kept thinking I was going to walk from underneath it but it must have been going my way.
The mud got really thick on my shoes. I saw a coyote and shook my bumbershoot at it so it would keep moving - it did. The Rio looked beautiful in the rain!
