For instance, my granddaughter Katelyn (the Bug) makes me smile all the time! Today I spent some time with my Bug and Grace and my son in law Nathan, it was a blessing to me! They rescued me from the rehab hospital for an adventure to the lake house at Cedar Creek Lake, where Bug and I rode the riding lawnmower (monmower according to Bug) and mowed the yard. Grace watched from the window and Nathan did some heavy lifting. Thank you, Nathan, I needed that!
Here is a quick Bug story from Easter. My daughter, Jenny and Katelyn decided to call my brother to make sure he was making homemade ice cream for Easter. Let me just make it clear that my brother is the all time homemade ice cream making dude! He and Lu can make any kind you can imagine and they all all wonderful. It is a gift. Anyway, Katelyn calls Clyde and asks, “Uncle Clyde, ice cream for Easter”. This is a question from a 2 year old. Do I even need to tell you that she already has him wrapped around her finger after she finally got his name right at the top of her voice during our great nephews wedding last summer, nothing like “Uncle Clyde, Uncle Clyde, Uncle Clyde” ringing out in a Church during a wedding. I digress. Bug asks him to make ice cream and his response is “well, sure, what kind do you want?”. Hang on, here is where she actually gives the MOST perfect answer to the question “what kind of ice cream do you want”, when she replys, “MORE”.
All praise to God for allowing me to live long enough to be blessed with 3 awesome grandchildren.
Update on the man: Harry spent his first day at the rehab hospital in Plano, since it is the weekend all that really happened was an assessment of his condition. Many thanks for all your well wishes and prayers!
