having my darling father in law with us!!! It has been a wonderful few days. We have never had my father in law stay with us, without my mother in law. The Merschman girls went on a little trip. We have jokingly called it "the retaliation trip". The Merschman men have been going on little NASCAR trips once a year for several years. I think it is great to have the bonding of adult family members. I am taking several friends on a little trip this summer to NYC!!! The Merschman in-laws are welcome, BUT Kate is having a baby and Lori can never seem to get off of work. Hopefully, one of these years it will work.
Anyway, back to my father in law. He is so sweet and cute. He went "Jewel Tea" (I hope that is right) hunting all day on Friday. I was a little worried about him, I talked to Eddis and he told me his dad was not at the store. He got here about 530 and all was well with the world. He found some real treasures. He was going through all his finds and telling me how much he had to "give" for each item. It was truly a priceless moment and one I will not soon forget. Yesterday, he took Nicky with him. This morning Nicky was telling us about their little adventure. Big Ed was saying how Nicky acts like he is not paying any attention and then he will pull things out of his a@# in a conversation later. We have enjoyed having him with us, he is a wonderful man. I am glad I got to know him a little better in last few days. I love you Big Ed!
****My mom called this morning. You know, one of THOSE phone calls, when the phone rings and you just know it is bad news. Well, apparently they took my 93 year old grandmother to the hospital last night. She is sick and antibiotics are not working. Hopefully, my parents can get some rest today. They were at the hospital all night with her.
