I Had a Great Time in AZ

Being able to spend a few days with my 3 grandbabies in San Tan Valley, AZ, was a blast. Their parents went to Chicago to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show with Target (their dog from Afghanistan) and I had the opportunity to deal with heat, homework, huggings and happenings in the lives of my grandchildren ages 4-14. I learned to play Mario Bros. on the wii game...almost. Poor Tavius (age 4) tried to teach me, but finally sighed and told me, "Grandma, I think you are unteachable. Now don't laugh. Try harder. Let's do it again." My reward came hours later when he crawled into bed with us in the middle of the night and proceeded to cuddle Grandpa to the edge of the bed. The girls had homework I could help with, spelling for Mahala, and science on the laptop for Trenedy. That Trenedy had no schoolbooks gave me a strange sensation! Then came the blackout in 108 degrees. It only lasted about 20 minutes but, of course, I was "totally in the dark" as to where to find the flashlights/candles. Memories! Yes, I have plenty of that trip to see my grandbabies. Think I'll go again soon.
