I'm trying to think of something clever to write, but all I can think of is how tired I am.  I have been sitting upstairs with my wife and we have had a nice conversation, but we both  have found ourselves yawning and getting quiet in between thoughts.  We spent our evening and Sharon and Johnny's and just sitting and talking I find to be an energy draining activity.  For that matter Sunday is an energy draining activity.  Maybe it just my age that makes anything an energy draining activity.  Robert teased me about staying up 'late' last night to wait until Sheila got home from baby sitting the Terry grand children.  But I am glad that I did.  She told me a story about what happened when she put Aaron to bed that was precious and worth any sleep that it cost me.  Seems she tucked him into bed and he asked her about his 'bear'.  She looked around but didn't see one so she just tucked him in and tried to leave.  He asked again about his 'bear' which she was unable to find.  He persisted and she finally understood him to be asking about his 'prayer.  So she helped him say his pray which only he was able to understand and she thought that now he would be ready for bed.  But then he asked about his 'song'.  She learned that 'old macdonald' was the required routine, but he only sings the verse about a 'cow' over and over and over.  She found the 'bear' routine with Abby and Ashley as well.  Nice to know how Shauni and Jeff are teaching our grandchildren.
