Artist Ride

Got home yesterday after dinner and a couple friends had gotten here shortly before me.We drove around and looked at some stuff and then Cindy got here, so we picked her up and headed out for some more looking around. Then they had to split. I have been spending this morning trying to catch upContinue reading “Artist Ride”

Sure is quiet

around here. No, “Grampa, can we go ride? Can we watch movies? Grampa what are we going to do now?” It’s a cool gig being a grampa. But kind of hard when they go home after an extended visit.
