I had stacks of papers all around me in my office - and photos - and old letters and it was taking over my life. Well, not really, I am being a bit dramatic but I did decide I was getting behind on other stuff and needed a break from genealogy. So I organized, stacked and had a Grammy/Alex day today. We rode our bikes to the nearby nature center then to Bush Lake Beach - that perfect beach just .8 mile across the park from our house. I told him whatever we took had to fit in my bike basket so we had to take small hand towels instead of beach towels and share a small bottle of lemonade. His reply about the towels: "Grammy always has the right stuff" - ahhhhhh.
This is a reason I don't like to leave Minnesota in the summer. It is lovely even if it has been a little on the hot and humid side - more than normal. So when we got home today we had to water flowers and I fixed a leaky hose connection for Alex. His response: "Grammy you know how to fix everything"! - so it was a good idea to put aside the papers from long ago ancestors for a while and focus on what's here right now!!!!! He also makes me strut around like a very smart and important person:) - this boy will go far.
On the other hand - I am finishing up some travel stuff for our trip to France in 79 days! Next to grandkids, beach and bike, travel and planning of it is my favorite thing to do.
