My Daughter called last night and apologized to me. I told her that we need to work on our relationship and that counseling wouldn’t be a bad idea. She attends counseling and I have in the past. She is open to the idea. We need to learn to talk to one another and not let our problems get out of control. That doesn’t mean that I am traveling back and forth to the city like before. I know that my Grandson will spend a lot of the summer with me in between his sports camp and karate camp and I am good with that. I think that I am stopping her from completely parenting my Grandson. It is time for him to spend more time with his Dad also. His Dad is a awesome person but lately he has being seeing less of him. He too needs to do some growing up and become more responsible. So our spa trip is on again for the two of us. We will fly into Las Vegas on the 25th and my Grandson’s other Grandma will pick us up and we will go to her home town which is 1 hour from there. We are going to the spa the next day and are spending the night with her. She has some land and animals, horses, chickens and of course dogs and cats. I haven’t been there before and she has been inviting me. On our last day we are going back to Vegas for dinner and the Love-Beatles Tribute show. She got tickets for us!!! I am not worried about gambling as Vegas was never a venue for me. I have gone there with my Husband for Union conferences and never gambled, just did a lot of sight-seeing and shopping. I will be with non-gamblers also so they will keep me in check. I want to be accountable and honest as I do not plan to gamble. Today, I helped my Mom with her yard work. She refuses to let me hire someone as she likes to putter in the yard. She isn’t on any deadline, so she works on it a little at a time. We had lunch together and play many games of yahtzee. (my favorite game). We are going to the gym in the morning then we are traveling about 50 miles northeast from here to spread my Step-father’s ashes. My Mom has had his ashes for almost 8 years and finally decided that she felt comfortable in spreading them. The place we are going to has a stream running through it and is beautiful. Afterwards we are going to have a picnic. On the way home we plan to stop by the plant fair (nursery) and look for some flowers for me plant. So, my day tomorrow will be full. The way I like them.
