Visit by Patrick and Presley

Patrick had golf camp at the University of Arkansas this past weekend. Gary picked him up on Monday and after a short afternoon nap they went fishing at Bella Vista, Arkansas. When they came home I asked "Well, how many fish did you catch?" At the very same time Patrick said "two" and Gary said "four." I was ready for another one of those fish stories.

This morning I woke up at 6:30 a.m. to an empty house. They were already gone. By mid morning Gary sent me the picture below of Patrick. They were below Beaver Dam. It is a three pound rainbow trout.



Sancy and Presley came over today. We had so much fun with her. Here's a picture of Presley with Beez. That's what she calls me.

Patrick was laying in the hammock and Presley wanted in. She later wanted in to jump on Patrick but he didn't let her.

 I looked over at Patrick and Presley and this is what I saw. The sweetest hug on the planet. Presley calls Patrick "Paddy Bear." She also says that Will is "very bad" and Paddy Bear is "very good."

 After playing outside for a long time Presley asked me "Can I play in Ann Care's room?" She calls Anna Claire Ann Care. I said sure and she jumped up, grinned and said "I be so happy." She and Patrick played with the doll house and the construction toys. She told me she was going to make a couch.

She had a fit when she had to leave. Her red hair fits her personality perfect. She was kicking and said she was "staying at Beez's." I enjoyed watching Grammy squirm. I know how that feels. You just don't want your grandchildren to ever be sad. I gave her a Razorback monkey and she found some of Anna Claire's stickers and took them to the car. Later she was saying that Aunt Jill gave her the monkey and sticker. She loves Aunt Jill!
