The house is quiet and all evidence of a six year old being here is gone. Excuse me, that is a 6 1/2 year old. Nicholas is always eager to point that out. He was as good as gold and he felt really proud that he could sleep out in the living room on the pull out sofa rather than an old ordinary bed. To him that was a huge step up.
Nicholas wanted to play Solitaire on the dining room table, but the cards I had were so slippery the columns of cards would not stay in place. We headed for my laptop computer. He did great and soon was placing cards like an old timer . . . though not too pleased as to how hard it was to win a game. When he and Grandpa were busy, I opened up and figured out how to play the Spider Man Solitaire on the computer. That he really enjoyed as the possibility to win was doable. He wanted to know how hard it would be to download that to his mom’s computer and how expensive it was to buy the program. I pointed out that most computers come loaded with free games and these two would be included. I am sure his mom will be sharing.
Yes, these visits are priceless and are coming way too seldom as the kids are getting into extra activities. Dennis is quick to point out that the memories of times past will always be there to revisit. Gotta love that logical ole cowboy.
