to Sacramento for the weekend. It was hot! We stayed at our Daughter Jackie's house as her husband was out "wheelin" as they call it . Thats when you put all this money into your truck and in a weekend you destroy it. And you start over again with the money and the destruction! Anyway, we also brought our Granddaughter back to her mother (our daughter Katie) and got a very nice surprise, Jeni and I are going to be Grandparents again for the 5th time! We are so exited for Kate and Alyx as she will have a little brother or sister. The picture is Katie and daughter Alyx. Don't they look like sisters.As I have said before, Katie is a single
mother. And has done an excellent job of raising Alyx. When the going got tough ,she always found a way to see things through. We are very proud of her.With the temperature above 100 degrees all weekend,we stayed in and visited, and played cards.
Now it's no fun playing cards with just two people, so "ole" Phil was asked by his daughter and wife to join them! Yea, like I'm going to say no. That would be a fate worse than death! We played a game called "hand and foot", a little like "canasta" but much harder in my opinion. I really "suck" at this game. I have only won when I have played with partners, never on my own! This game has got my number! Maybe Jackie and Jeni will give me a brake and let me win? Not!
After a break in the action Sunday, I took my grandson DJ down to the park for a little "Grandpa"time. Ever since he was real little, when Jeni and I were in town, I would always take him to the park to swing. He is the coolest little guy. Jackie and Dustin have done a great job with him.He has Jackie"s mild mannerisms and level head and Dustins mechanical abilities.
Back before I retired, I worked for this "rough and tumble" Co., A construction Co.in Sacramento Jackie went to work for them right before I retired. She had answered an ad on the Internet for a job from them and I was unaware of it. At first I was worried for her, you need "thick skin" when you work for const. outfit usually, but she was a true professional. She did her job and rose above all the company politics. It must have been a tough assignment for her to follow in the "ole mans footsteps" but she made me proud!
Well Jeni and I said our goodbyes and headed back to Park Sierra.It is about a 4 hr. drive and with no AC. yet, it was a hot ride!
Yesterday and today we did some spring cleaning,grocery shopping,laundry,and enjoying the park. We went over to the Casino for breakfast this morning as it is only a mile away.then it was back to the park and more chores.
It was great to see our daughters this weekend,as it has been a while since we last visited with them. A family weekend!
