And so the day ends with two visitors in the house. I don’t know if they will be spending the night tonight or not, and with my bedroom door closed and the bubbles blowing in the fish tank; I will find out in the morning if the visitors stayed through the night.

Jo (Harlee’s Mom and next door neighbor as well) came over around 11:00 last night after a trip to Wal-Mart. Grace and Harlee had purchased a t-shirt and were going to paint it for Drew (Harlee’s Dad) for his birthday. I told them we had grand-kids in the bed, and they went to Harlee’s to paint a shirt. I will add her to the visitor count.

Today, Arnold was the first visitor of the day, he stayed for a few minutes; David left with Grace to visit Roy and Ann so I could finish this week’s homework assignment. When they returned, Grace had a beautiful bouquet of flowers arranged in a small glass vase. She talked about going for a walk, picking flowers with Ann, and listening to stories. There’s something to be said about stories. We will remember stories that have been told and shared for generations to come.

When Harlee came over today and I mentioned my Blog, she said that I couldn’t count her because she lived here too. Most the time she does, but for the purposes of the visitor count; she does have a home next door.

Harlee returned in the evening with Cheyenne and Jo. They visited for a while, talked about their trip to Michigan, and about Harlee driving in a cemetery. Jo said, “well… she wouldn’t kill anybody.”

Harlee and Cheyenne plan to spend the night tonight. Oh yea…I forgot to mention that last night when Jo, Harlee, and Grace went to Wal-Mart, they brought their dog Angus over for a visit. They left him in the fence overnight and he spent the night with Jenny and Lucy. Before long, I may need to keep track of the visitors that come to see our dogs.

All in all, that’s an additional 5 visitors today and another dog; making 87 visitors and 2 dogs.
