It is Halloween time and Judie is off to Madison. She flies up there annually for Halloween. She stays a four or five days and returns. During that time she spells the parents and watches the grand kids, that is after all the prime objective.
Jane is yet to young to care. Will at four years is full of enthusiasm. He anticipates his grandmother arriving and the gifts she is bearing. Plus there is always a shopping trip to Target or similar emporium of toys.
Will is not starved for attention or toys, he just sees an opportunity to expand his horizon so to speak. And his grandmother is pleased to do it for him.
His parents are as all young married couples with families, tied up with work and parenting and need as short respite - rest. It sort of recharges them for the onslaught of the holiday season approaching. The weather is nice, beginning to change from Autumn to Winter. And Winter can be brutal in those northern climes. The lakes freeze over, and the main lake is probably five or six times the size of False River, I mean it is huge. No water shortage there.
I will retrieve Judie from DFW Sunday and on the way home we will stop at Pappadeaux's to eat. I would say dine but not really sure of the time of day as we all know, airlines are imprecise on their timing. By then I will tire of my home cooking.
It will be good to see her back.
