family

A man who had accomplished a lot, was asked about his favorite activity.

Without too much stopping he said: “Being a dad.” I would echo that one but add that it also includes being a granddad. This weekend we had a pile of grandkids here. Mostly teen agers.

They were supposed to be annoying and fight a lot, but they were neither.

Truthfully I do not know why they are so fond of each other. (Griffy, as soon as he got home wrote on his Facebook page: “I miss my cousins.” They said about the same thing.

We had some fireworks, lots of bang and flash for not too much money. One budding chemist grandson made some fireworks, even.

Our family are not too big into spending a lot of money on fireworks. This year’s budget was very modest too, but the kids had a blast.

With the fireworks we had a double birthday. Griffy is 14 now and Amy, the youngest of the grands, is 13.

Wow.
