Rainy Sunday

Hi All,
Been raining for two days now but hoping for a rainbow. Grandson gone back home with his Mom now. Its amazing to me how fast he has grown, his birthday is in a few weeks and he is already talking about going into the Marines when he gets out of High School. That is four years away but I know that it will fly by. Not sure who he as been listening to but says he wants to go into the military so he can afford to pay for college when he gets out. Although I know it is dangerous I know it will help him grow as a man with disipline and structure. I told him about my Dad and his many years of military experience and how proud of him I always was for his service and so much more.

Spent all day yesterday doing a learning activity for one of my classes. It seems so very funny that at my age I am doing homework. I guess if Grandma Moses could start painting in her 90's I can learn in my mid 50's.
