Granny & GrandShaw Grand Adventure 2022 - 9/8

Grandshaw loves his early morning walks in Vista. Here the sun rises on Wednesday as I walk from  Blackbird toward Anza.
 
I turned back west to snap this view of Vista  in the valley with steep Apollo Drive in the foreground. 


Along Cortes I snapped these Morning Glories.

Susannah with her Mom.

Clementine had mentioned this elixir to us the day before,
but today she wanted to show us her "Mortal Tea".
She had hopes that this magic brew would regrow Bowie's tail.

Meanwhile the swing on the back porch got lots of use first by Susie, then by the other two girls.


The one green cushions (what are they called?) were a great purchase. The girls arrange and rearrange those things into all sorts of playscape.

The "ice cream" toys were also a great idea. We are served ice cream  many times a day.

Granny is such a great playmate. On the screen is "The Pirates of Penzance" currently a favorite video in the Carlin household. Unfortunately none of them seem to know the correct words to one of the songs. Who remembers: "Hail, Hail, the gang's all here. Time for Woody Willow. Time for Woody Willow. Hail, Hail, the gang's all here. Time for Woody Willow, now!"

I had to run an errand that took me up the 78 past the Emerald Drive exit. It was here that Susannah was born in a car at the side of the road last October.

Granny and the girls "roast" "marshmallows" around a "campfire".
There is no shortage of imagination in this room.

Papa and Gamma have bought and installed an above-ground pool since our last visit. 

Clemmie loves it!

Clementine has taken swimming lessons and is a little fish!

Granny says the water is cold!

Mom and Susannah are dry; that is a condition Clemmie is glad to remedy.

Ruthie is playing with Granny.

Clemmie like to hide under the floats and then surprise everyone!



All four Carlin girls.

Susie likes the water too.

Papa found this little electric car at a garage sale.

Along Dorsey on the way to Papa and Gamma's is a house that really decorates for Halloween.

Tonight we watched... 



...two videos......

 ....the Pirates of Penzance and...

... Lady and the Tramp. We liked when Lady and "Bootch" shared their spaghetti...

and we like to sing "We are Siamese if you please; we are Siamese if you don't please."

We were sad to find out that the people of the United Kingdom had lost their queen today. She was a very old lady.
