Today was such a fun day! Don and I worked to assemble Elena’s crib; Gretta and Joe had it mostly assembled, but the mattress was down too low and the side didn’t operate right. Someone gave it to Gretta, so we didn’t have instructions, so it was rather challenging. We DID it, though! She was very pleased to have her own place, and she’s even slept there a lot this afternoon. The first two pictures are of her propped up in the bed. Of course she doesn’t sleep like that, but she liked the pose for the picture. The last picture is Don and Garrett in a hot game of Boggle. Don was writing with his right hand to cut some slack for Garrett since he’s just learning.
After we got the bed together Gretta and Elena and I went to Hobby Lobby to get some things Gretta needed. It was beautiful in Louisville, today, so it was good for all of us to get out and enjoy it.
Tomorrow Don and I are going out to Gina’s house for the afternoon. We need to be back by dark so we can get things together to be ready to leave for Tennessee on Friday morning. Gretta is doing really well. Nobody can believe she has a two-week-old baby. She has done at least 5 haircuts and 2 color jobs since we’ve been here, and she’s done all the laundry, etc. She won’t let me do hardly anything to help; she’s very independent. Garrett is a big help. We’ll get out of her hair and she’ll be able to really get down to normal around here. Joe will be back in three weeks with the horses and horse racing will be on its way around here, again, soon.
All is good here. We’re counting blessings and giving thanks! Love you all!
