When you get some I'd love to hear from you some more!

I'm not sure what you are referring to here - grandkids, maybe? Our oldest just graduated from college and is back in Fort Worth working at the same company as my husband/her daddy, so they're both pretty happy about that! Daughter #2 is home for the summer after her first year at Texas A&M. Daughter #3 will be here for another year, then she will be off to college. Since there currently aren't any young men in the picture for any of them (won't ever be in the case of DD#2....), grandkids aren't on the horizon for a while yet!

I hear they're lots of fun - my friends from high school certainly enjoy them! My parents always enjoyed having the kids visit them for the summer; they're getting a little too old for that now, but our youngest may be able to still go and visit them in a few years (she has Down syndrome) - she is still pretty active, but she should be willing to be around Granny and Papa well into her teen years (something that the others weren't too keen on....).

Stay cool this July 4th - I know that's hard anywhere in Texas!
