This is getting exciting for me....

No! Not the alien taking over my grandpa but that I am getting closer to writing this blog in a diary sort of way! There are so many things that have happen in this last year as it is but we are almost there! Just a few more things on his sad journey. It is so scary, yet fascinating how things change in such short spaces of time!

But First!....

My grandpa used to make sure that his farm was clean and well groomed. He was very particular on how things needed to look and when trees were planted on his farm... they all ran in straight lines! Never were they scattered around in different spots or spread out too far. I used to wish he would build a swimming pool in the middle of the housing area because even the houses and garage were built in a circle so there was this enormous patch of grass there and it used to get really hot out there! As much I asked as the cute little granddaughter for him to build a swimming pool, I just never won. My grandpa felt it was too much to handle.

Now we -luckily for me- have a swimming pool and a pretty little garden for my grandpa to roam in and for quite a few times a day would wander outside and during the autumn months with all the beautiful oak trees losing their leaves and completely smothering our poor garden my grandpa would grab a rake and sweep those leaves away! The swimming pool, well, too my grandpa the "dam" as he called it would have leaves too of course and he would get the broom and sweep the dust off the bottom and swipe the leaves away with the net. We aren't quite sure why my grandpa thought the pool was a dam as our pool was blue and well... his dam was brown!

As usual with all the other things he "used" to do, this also fell to the way side and now no longer thinks of cleaning the pool as he believes now he is too old? Even though he would tell everyone how fit and healthy he is but when it came to cleaning the garden and pool .... No, i'm too old for this thing.

until next time.
