Meeting up with Grandma Marylin

It's been about 6 years since the kids last saw their Grandma and Dave. This could be a good thing--absence makes the heart fonder--or a bad thing. But nevertheless, we tried to make up for lost time, and got to spend a number of days with both Grandma and Papa Dave. They were generous enough to let us stay in their former house, which had a pool, wonderful during the extreme hot season, temperatures reaching up to 43 degrees C!! And it was nice to have a place to retreat to every so often and be able to 'hang' at.
