Back on Mom's porch

I'm back !! Sitting on Mom's back porch that is. I love this room !! After two days of watching children, my sister and I drove to Ames to pick up her eldest daughter at the university, She was taking a week worth of Agriculture related classes for FFA students. We went early enough that we could stop and have the world's best pizza. http://www.greatplainspizza.com/main.html I crave this stuff. So it's probably a really good thing that I live 4 hours away. Mom valiantly stayed with all five of the kids while we were gone. She achieved "Best Grammy In the WORLD !!!" status by purchasing Eldest DD her birthday present early. An apple green IPOD shuffle. Guess I need to go back to the drawing board on what I am going to get her. DD is really really excited about it, now to keep her from buying music we already have. LOL That is all that has happened so far. I will talk at you more later. L
