I am enjoying a visit from my stepson Jayson, his wife joy and son Liam, who has captured the heart of all of the dogs, especially Zoe. Then he set out to invent new pool toys and games…using a noodle, two racquets and plastic water lilies.  Who needs a partner to play badminton? Later on, he substituted a plastic ball for the water lily and ditched one of the raquets and involved Morrie in his game. In the process, Morrie totally ruined 5 of the plastic balls. No problem. We’d bought a bag of 15 of them. A good time was had by all.––those playing and those of us observing.

I am absolutely loving this family visit. They’ll be here for 2 weeks but I’m sending them to Guanajuato for 4 of those days. I would just slow them down as my back has gotten too bad to allow for much walking. We’re spending tons of time in the pool and hot tub, some time at the table eating and playing games. Today we went to Walmart and I used the motorized cart for the first time. Only ran into one display, spinning it around without causing any damage and only terrorized one little girl and her grandmother who were good sports. Liam ran a message service between his folks with a pushcart and me in my motorcart and a good time was had by all.

For Bushboy’s Last on the Card Prompt. Thanks, Brian!
