Just got back from visiting family in New
Jersey. Had a great time, traveling with two of our grand-kids from North
Carolina, meeting up with a grandson doing an internship in Manhattan, and
visiting with three grand-kids who live in New Jersey. I typically keep in
touch with them with an occasional text or Facebook post, but it is not the
same as being face-to-face, in person. They are all growing older, have their
own life views, and they freely express their opinions. I couldn’t be more
proud of my nine grand-kids and my one grandson-in-law.
Speaking of getting older. It is hard
keeping up with young adults. They have energy and can handle electronics with
abundant skill and know-how. I wish some of that knowledge and energy would rub
off on me by osmosis. While I was gearing up for a good night sleep because my
energy level was approaching a new low, they are going bowling at midnight! The
first night home following our trip I almost slept 10 hours straight!
Despite their crazy activities, I am proud
of all our grandkids and grandson-in-law. Apple’s FaceTime is fine, but it is
more productive to be face-to-face with your children and grandkids.
