8 Jun 2009 – Garage Sale

Fri was Katy‘s last day in school as a 1st grader. Had lunch with her class. Next school year she will move to another school into a gifted program in 2nd Grade. Good luck with the new school and location.

Was at Linn & Jeff‘s ex neighbourhood for a garage sale.  Amy, Mike and their only daughter Rachel (Katy‘s best friend) will be moving to Belgium and just sold their house (the same model as Linn & Jeff‘s old house). The lemonade/cookie stand was a success for the kids. Jeff bought some books, Christmas tree stand, toaster oven, set of drawers for Sophie‘s room, a wooden lamp & rocking chair and I bought a brand new Reader’s Digest Beading Set for $2… incase I get bored 🙂

Q: Do you know why grandchildren are always so full of energy?  A: They suck it out of their grandparents! Watching Linn & Jeff with their children makes me feel proud being her mother, they are doing such a good job. Playing and cuddling with them is the best I can do. Considering that my mother had 7 and grandmother had 15 children, 4 will be no sweat for Linn! 

My grandkids believe I’m the oldest thing in the world. And after two or three hours with them, I believe it too. – Gene Perret
