Does this look like a loving, caring and sympathetic granddaughter caring for her poor sick grandfather? Who says he's sick?? Look at his antics! Lisa had a fit of laughing nimbo fimbo! No moping around the Black's Bed & Breakfast Fix it Yourself!
We had a busy week in D.C. We helped Kate choose a new Prom Dress; took a picutre of her in her white graduation dress; enjoyed the Baccalaureate Ceremony at her school; (she received three awards!); Later we witnessed the actual graduation at the Catholic Cathedral and then went to dinner with friends and family!
During the week we were in D.C. Don tried to liven up Tweety asusual but when Tweety wouldn't do anything but dream of going outside Don gave up and spent his time reading. Don wa also handicapped by a package he had to carry around for a few days.
During the week Donna and I enjoyed walking around the DC 'mall', visitng museums, celebrating Memorial Day with Don and Darryl listening to a concert at the naval offices, shopping at Eastern Shores Market and going out for luch whenever we could!
Jeanne and Max surprised us Friday and Saturday by coming up for a quick visit. Max visited Bethany and Logan of course but Jeanne, Don and I went to the temple then up Squaw Peak for a picnic. Later Jeanne and I went shopping and she helped me pick out some bright cushions for the patio! Fun.
Elon and Tess came to visit on Sunday and stayed overnight. Elon is doing quite well (he has full custody of Tess) and Tess is an absolute delight! She is only three but as bright and quick as a seven year old! She can hear a new song and sing it right back to you -- is very observant and loves to go for a walk with 'grandma'; pick flowers and play with Ellie's stuffed dogs. We had such a good time with both of them. They may come back in July and stay with the Ivies so that they can see Angie and family and Donna and family. We hope so.
Honest, we are happier than we look in this picture!
Maybe a little old and worn out?

Satan speaking to Beelzebub about Heaven and Hell (Milton)
Farewell happy Fields where Joy forever dwells. Hail horrors, hail Infernal world, ...receive thy new Possessor. One who brings a mind not to be changed by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven....Here (hell) at least we shall be free; the Almighty hath not built here for his envy, will not drive us hence. Here we may reign secure, and in my choice to reign is worth ambition though in Hell. Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.
