GRAD WEEKEND
This is one of those times that cause we mature folk to experience time as "speeded up". Granddaughter Michal is graduating from high school today at Ferndale (north of Bellingham, up near the Canadian border). Her sister Rachel has flown in to the Bellingham area from South Dakota for the occasion. Mother Erin and younger sister Jessica arrived here yesterday from Vancouver, WA.
So Erin got up at five this morning and left at six to catch a ferry at Kingston so she could attend the actual graduation ceremony at eleven. Bookworm and Jessica and I will leave at 9:30 (in a half hour) and hope to get up there around 1:00 for the afterward party. Around 3:30 we will swap Jessica for Rachel and head back to Bremerton. Sunday Erin and Jessica will return to our house. Sunday evening we put Rachel on the airporter to SeaTac. Monday we are back down to Erin and Jessica .... but Allie comes back into the mix with his kindergarten field day.
No chance for confusion there......

Sounds exhausting. In fact, it WAS exhausting. You are a good FossilGrandpa to be so actively involved in all this stuff, because part of the "stuff" is adult children angry with her mother, angry granddaughter angry with HER mother (your daughter), a nearly uncommunicative son who is always sweet and talkative as long as his girlfriend isn't there, your wife, the illustrious Dr. Bookworm with the bomb in her butt, you driving 250 miles witting on your SKINNY butt, and being friendly and upbeat all at the same time. Woof.
