TRAVEL
Sometimes I feel like I spend half my life on an airplane. The thought of traveling used to be romantic, until I started traveling more. The farther the grandkids get, though, the more I will be traveling (North Salt Lake, China, Philadelphia...) and, of course, wherever Daryl is working.
I did have a great weekend with Daryl, going to the beach (Gulf of Mexico) where the water was at least 80 degrees, checking out a BMW, "cooking" dinner, watching movies. I don't think his phone rang once! And I love the Georgia weather, humidity and all - except the gnats. I think of movies where the environment drives people insane (deranged) - that is the way I feel about the gnats. I've decided that Southern Belles didn't carry fans for the heat - it was to keep the gnats away :).

Today Jen and I helped Melissa, Nathan, Tyler and Dylan move to North Salt Lake. I was so sad to leave them there, especially the boys. Then when we got home, Jeff and Liam called to say goodbye before leaving for China in the morning. :( I love hearing the boys' voices on the phone - it is the highlight of our day, week, month ......

While waiting for grandkids, we "adopted" cute little Ali Audria, age two-months-old. She is now nine years old and lives in Philadelphia with her family, Parker, age six and Paige, age five.
