My life's not an adventure, but it keeps me awake. Sometimes.

I returned to the states in June 2004, and began what I expected to be a boring life. My expectations were not met. Sure some of it is mind-numbing, but I've been having mini-adventures that keep me pseudo-sane.

1/16 In Southern California

Jill and Hunter picked me up from the Burbank airport. After a brief lunch we went to school to pick up Ms. Kayla from first grade. I wasn't standing near Jill, and suddenly saw Kayla looking up at Jill with tears in her eyes. "Where's Grandma?" I immediately said, "Here I am, sweetie," and she was fine right away. What a treat to be able to make her so happy with just my presence.

I helped a little with her homework, and Jill finished. Afterward, Kayla and Hunter made a "water stand" indoors, where they pretend it's a hot day and sell water. I bought some for Jill and myself, and boy was it good. The cost was $6.51, so I was lucky they accepted pretend money.

Tonight, after dinner we'll have our (very) late Christmas. Can't wait.

    SO....did you have trouble with first grade homework.....is that why Jill had to finish it? Sorry..just thought that sounded funny....Glad you are having such a great time with Jill and the kids. I thought my grandma's were the greatest gifts on earth.

    Guess I could have been more clear. But you get the picture. Who are you by the way?
