Today will be different. Pete and Jess are going to the movies today rather than next Monday because Jess has a meeting scheduled for sometime Monday with the person she will be working with in the coming year.
We had a splendid breakfast of scrambled eggs and pancakes ala Peter.
Then the round of slowly getting everyone cleaned up began. Pete and Jess got first dibs on the bathroom first as they are going out. Nancy and I worked on the blog or read as we watched Joey and waited our turns.
Joey went down for her morning nap, and Pete and Jess headed down the hill to see the new Batman movie. Nancy and I got ready for the day. When Joey woke up we got her going and had some lunch from what we had in the house—bread, peanut butter and fruit.
After Lunch we took Jo-Bug out for a walk on a very nice afternoon. First stop was at the baby store to buy a Dolly for the granddaughter. Then to the bank to get some cash—the cash point was not working properly which caused some momentary panic---it was quickly resolved at a terminal inside the bank. A third stop was two watermelons which were on sale at Waitross. Then finally toward home, but before heading up the hill, we stopped for a mocha at a café on the way.
Back at the flat we played with Joey and then Nancy got Joey into her nap mode for her afternoon siesta.
The Parents returned,and Joey was delighted.
We turned our thoughts to cooking—getting dinner. Cooking would mean a trip to the grocery store and nobody really wanted to cook. We ordered Mexican food from a tiny—four seat—mostly take-out Place. Way too much food but the seasoning was right very much like Qudoba’s. We really had a great meal.
A great day as we got to deal with Joey all day long, and she is a joy so calm, so cute, so charming. Probably the grandest granddaughter of them all.
