Life on the Home Front

Grad daughter first birthday

Spread the love


Well we decided to go see her . The last time was for xmas. So we plan on being with her from the 5th to the 28th.
We get to airport and find out that plane is going to leave late . The crew came in late the night before so need sleep .Which means running to get next plane .We get a pass each year for the VIP room but not this time will use on way back .
We make our connection just by mins.
Now we have the same seats that we have had in past . Lo and behold the same thing NO TV .this IS 3 RD TIME ON TRIPS.
Same seat every time . Got lucky again with an empty seat near by .
O I forgot that we waited for 3 weeks for an invite so could get visa for part of trip and then decided that it was to late for us to mail pass ports and paper work to SF BEFORE TRIP . So we decided that we would make an app. for when we got there.
Now the plane is coming in late and we may miss it .
All went well and made app. for visa.
Takes 4 days to do this which made us getting them the same day we leave for Russia .Hopping all is good .

Have never been there and did not have a penny in my pocket. That felt strange .The plan was to be there for a week .O yes I DO NOT SPEAK A WORD.
I am glad that I did not have to drive at all .There is a lot of old cars on the roads with lots of trucks .
We had a great time meeting the other side of family .
No phones inter net at all . No hot water till I told them how to turn it on . They also was using a weed eater with out putting oil in gas .Lucky it was new so they only had used it one time .
The neighbors said the American did a good job mowing the lawn .
Got to go will finish later .
Well we did get to know are grd daughter a lot more . Reminded us of both of our kids rolled into one .Feel for my daughter.
Got to see red square and a couple churches .
Then went back to Geneva for the weekend . We left for the Italian Rivera for 3 days which gave us more relaxing time with daughter and grd daughter .
Made the trip threw France with no problems .Saw two casinos during hole trip . Did not even go in one .
We had a great time over all .
Good Rolling.

Aren’t grandkids the greatest no matter the age. Rose and I were born to be grandparents.

By the way—you do know who grand parents and grand kids get along so well? They have a common enemy.
