There's No Place Like Home

Wow, it's been a long two weeks. We are back in SC after visiting our daughter, son-in-law and grand daughters in CA. It was not a pleasure trip, per se', but we found much pleasure in seeing them all.
Thanks for all who prayed for Andrea during her surgery. She is recovering and making progress.
It was so enjoyable taking part in Emma and Olivia's daily routine.
I home schooled Olivia everyday in kindergarten. I got a refresher course in phonics and the proper way to do cursive. She is reading and doing cursive now. WE didn't do that till 2 nd grade, if I remember that far back. lol
We went to the park by their house a couple of times and even went to Disney one day. They had two free passes waiting for us. Of course, their dad stayed home with Andrea.
Our trip back home was not what we bargained for but we arrived safely, in spite of it.
We were stuck in Dallas Sat., when they closed the airport for the terrible storms that moved across that state. After 5 hrs. in the terminal they allowed us to board and we taxied down the runway for take off to be told they had closed the airport again as another bad storm blew in. Literally blew in. We sat on the runway for more than an hour with severe lightning, torrential rains and wind.
We have been acclimating to the time difference and getting ready for company from MI that arrive tomorrow. (I told you I run a B&B) smile.
I wanted to get a post done before they arrive and say hi to everyone. I missed all my blogging friends and keeping in touch with each of you.

Here's some pics of us at Disney. The girls are right in front of the garbage. lol We saw an amazing production of Aladdin.

This is a view by their house of the mountains and city.

This is one beautiful B&B in Redlands, CA.

We took the girls to their gymnastics one day. They were so excited to show us they could do the "bridge".

This is inside the Disney park where they had a display of the Cars movie. I had to get a pic, since I had just painted both of these characters on the stool for Jonas.

This is the park by their house that we went to a few times.

Believe it or not, I'm standing behind the swing. At 5' 1" I'm just a head taller than Emma and she's a head taller than Olivia.

Taking in all the time we had to have fun together.

One day for lunch we took them to a pizza place with rides and games. (John's Incredible Pizza)

They went on a minature roller coaster.

It was a time to take care of Andrea, as well as making memories with the girls. We miss them already.

I hope your week is going great. I'll post again soon and start visiting you guys. Take care!
