There is nothing that will roust one out of self absorbed thoughts than a 10-year-old great granddaughter of Dennis’s bounding into the house and declaring that the school year is over for the summer. Addison is going to be spending most of the summer up north at Silver Bay where her grandmother, Dennis’ daughter, lives. Addison looks forward to canoeing, fishing and living the rustic life at a lake cabin. The best part for her is that there are three girl cousins awaiting her time there. Dennis’ daughter Sue and her husband stopped in shortly to pick up Addison and all of “her stuff.”
A flurry of activity on Stauffer Avenue and then the quiet. It’s not all bad to have a mix. Too much of either one can be daunting. Today is Friday, we have had a good week. For myself, I am going to pull into myself for the evening and let the memories roll. So many good memories and time well spent. I would be hard pressed to single out any one memory specifically.
