Lifes Like That

Yesterday we made our annual weekend visit to my husband’s father.  He is still quite lonely, but seeing the kids really does perk him up quite a bit.  As a surprise to him, we took him out to dinner.  He seemed to really enjoy this outing and got a real kick with having dinner with the kids.  Then we went back to his place and he made some molasses cookies for the kids.  They helped him cook these little treats and when it was time to go home, he filled up a baggie full of cookies for the kids.  He really does enjoy spending this time with them and they really enjoy spending time with him.  I wish that we lived closer to him than we do so the kids could see him more often.  But, for now we just spend time with him on the weekends and he seems to really look forward to this time.
