So Close, Yet So Far Away

Penny has come to realize which of her family lives close and which family is far away. It was clear to me after watching her FaceTime with hub's parents. After seeing her YaYa on the screen for a second she asked to see her. She then progressed to hand me the iPad and went directly to the back door (which she knows how to unlock) and let herself out, where she progressed to go stand by the car door. When I approached her again she asked if we could go to see YaYa. She asked quite bit that evening and over the next day that it made me want to fulfill her wish to see her YaYa. So I planned a visit the following weekend with her YaYa, NoNo, and cousins Clayton and Jaxon whom, she all asked for by name. we had a great tie celebrating Clayton's 9th birthday. We took him to a trampoline place and then treated him to lunch at Foster Freeze where we all partook in ice cream. Penny also had a good time swimming in the pool with NoNo and Jaxon. Then there was hot tubbing with Jaxon and fighting in general over toys. I heard "Mine" "Mine" so much I thought I was in a Disney movie. We all had a great time. As we drove home Penny would look back from time to time and reach for YaYa who she knew she was leaving behind in the distance.

When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
