How to Have a Perfect Friday Evening...

1. Get a phone call from soon-to-be 18 year old granddaughter, Janessa...

"Grandma, I'm in St. George...can I come over and hang out until Ethan gets off work? We're going on a date, and he works until after 8."

2. Watch as she comes in the front door, and her beauty, smile, fun, sunburn take your breath away!

3. Chatter awhile.

4. Go through a family photo album together.

5. Have her help you organize and put things away.

6. Sit in the heat out on the back patio while she tells all about college, orientation, her roommate, her newly purchased items, until Ethan arrives.

7. Smile as she goes through the front door, laughing with Ethan.


And, that is a perfect Friday evening...now, I just need our other grandchildren to live closer so we can do this with them!
