The smell of smoke in the air tonight brings back fond memories of being a kid in Roseau. The crunch of leaves under foot and the crisp bite in the air make for a good night of sleep. Sitting on the couch in the home in which I grew up feels good as I visit with my mom while watching policics on Fox News Channel. The fools that fool the fools...man are people ignorant or what. Maybe not the best idea in prelude to sleep. The need for blood pressure meds must rise dramatically in an election year. Come to think of it I forgot mine at home. But I will be home again tomorrow night so not so long to wait.
We arrived in Roseau tonight about 5pm. Lacey and Rylan came up yesterday so Lacey's best friend Katie rode along with me today. We did our best to pass time on the 3 hour trip without any radio or cd player. Not that it didn't work...it just didn't work completely. The volume was stuck. And it was loud! After visiting for the first hour or so we decided to try listening anyway. Then all the buttons quit working and it was blaring on a station that we didn't like ... at all ... trying to shut the stupid thing off didn't work either! Thank goodness after about 10 miles it finally shut off. We appreciated the peace and quiet the rest of the trip....through the ringing in our ears...or deafness.
My new grandson spent the first night away from our house since he got home from the hospital. I didn't like the quiet. We much prefer the sound of kids in our house, big or small. Or really small. Nothing quite like the sweetness of a new baby in the wee hours of the morning when they are hungry. The little baby bird movements are just too cute. I got the pleasure of an early morning feeding and snuggle the other day. The joy in my heart as I sat holding him in the dark was so wonderful. I look forward to the next time I can feed him in the wee hours =O)
Tomorrow we get the honor of attending a baby shower for Lacey and baby, hosted by Rylan's other grandma. It should be fun. Now it's time to hit the pillow for what is hoped to be a good night of sleep in my old room growing up. It is our son's room now. Hope he doesn't mind me using it for a night....he is back home in Moorhead so it is sitting empty.
Oh, I helped my friend name a puppy tonight....she asked me if I had noticed the white moon shape on it's back. I told her she should name it Sliver...like the sliver moon on her back. So she did! Holding a baby and puppy in the same day. Life is good.
Goodnight moon.
