The end of summer... My sister Beth and I must have gone to spend the day with Gram & Grampa before heading back to school. We would often help her clean or organize something, tasks that are always more enjoyable when done with someone. Sometimes, though, we would get distracted by something else - a comedy show on TV, the story behind a knick-knack we were dusting, a request from Grampa to help with one of his endeavors, and more. If we didn't get to finish the task we were originally planning to do, Grammie didn't mind. She loved our company more than our help.

It was so good to have you girls with us - it gave me a bit of renewed force... Here is one of your friendly enemies with his pile of food. Look how fat he is... Now it is Mon. morn - a grey but warm day. And again, I'm trying to think of something to feed everyone without too much cooking... We have just realized that we have been driving around with plates that expired in Sept. '96. So now we know we can't go anywhere till the Motor Vehicle opens on Tues. We never got a form from MVD & one of the big shots that Grampa knows says that often happens - paper work does not get sent out.

It was a quiet weekend - no girls to liven up the place. We are getting ready to go to Portland to look at a retirement home for Aunt G. Next weekend Joanne & Aunt G are going to Vt. to start the task of cleaning out the farm - so sad after 5 generations. The summer has flown and glorious Fall will soon be here. Hope we have Aunt G. settled before the snow flies.
