I had forgotten what it sounds like to have little feet running all over upstairs.  Hunter, Chase and Logan are enjoying there last few hours of freedom here with grandma.  I just went up and Sheila told me that she gave them until 9 to be up and then they have to go to bed.  Shelli and Phil will be along sometime between 10 and 11 and pack them up and drive them home so that they will wake up in their own beds in the morning.  Shelli told me that she felt quite positive about the test that Colton had in Denver.  It went well but I will leave it to her to give a report to you all in her blog or over the phone.  It will be okay for us to wake up and be the only 2 in the house again.  But it is always nice to be grandparents because we have some very special grand children.  We had a family council this morning in my office with Hunter, Chase and Logan and their grandparents.  Grandma said a prayer for Colton and the trip home.  Then we put them to work so that they could earn their trip to the aquarium that grandma had promised them.  Sheilas told them that they had to stay there at least 2 hours to make it worth the money so they toughed it out and touched the sting rays and Logan got a penguin penny to remember his trip by.

Sheila told me that I ne4ed to explain why I call our dinner 'dead' chicken last night.  That was from Logan.  He said that the cooked chicken looked 'dead' just sitting there on the plate after it was broiled.  And as I said I did have left over 'dead' chicken for my lunch today. 

The best part of my day today was an hour that I spent with Sheilas listening to old country-gospel music on YOUTUBE.  I suggest that you google up J D SUMNER and listen to his songs.  One of the ones that we enjoyed was him and Elvis Presley doing a gospel song.  J D Sumner has the Guinness Book Of Records for the lowest vocal note ever sung.  I also really liked a song called TOO MUCH TO GAIN TO LOSE.  I liked the version sung by Jake Hess.  In fact, I am going to listed to that and maybe a few others before I go up and do my going to bed ritual.  I wonder if I'll be awake when Shelli and Phil come by for the 3 mooseketeers.
