Family Evolution
         We're facing changes like all families do. Dad is getting more feeble on his feet. His memory is not so good. His hearing is terrible. His vision is bad. But he still drives--in the daytime or early evening. He still works 24 hours a week. He still holds his grandson and great grand babies, plays with them and teases them. He goes to church and does the grocery shopping. He goes to all his appointments alone because none of us are available to go with him.

         Meanwhile the babies are getting more numerous. The little ones are learning to talk better, and are getting into everything when they come to visit. I like seeing 4 generations together. I color with them and study toys, watch cartoons and videos. If the one to whom I'm reading falls asleep, I have to finish the book by myself, so I can know what happens to Cute Gray Squirrel.
