A Chill Day

Today I had the day off as it is Remembrance Day.
Grandpa also had the day off, he did not have to go over and get the girls ready for school and out to the bus stop. Daddy and Mommy have the day off and they took care of that.
Willow facetimed Grandpa this morning all upset and in tears. She missed him and really really wanted him to take her down the block to catch the school bus. His heart was breaking, but he reminded her that she has a picture of him in her backpack that she can look at when she misses him.
Our son and DIL were picking them up during the day to take them to their dental appointment, and then dropping them back at school. They will meet them when the school bus drops them off.
Willow wants to facetime Grandpa after school. I have never missed an adult as much as she misses Grandpa in just a day's time.
This afternoon I have a couple of jackets that I want to take over to donate. Anything that I haven't worn or used in a year's time get donated or thrown out. These were still in mint condition, so someone else can get some use out of them.
Such a nice and relaxing chill day, how is your day today?

It sounds like a good day and a relaxing one. Good idea the picture so Willow can get her grandpa fix. The girls are little yet, it is probably hard for them to be away from their security blanket.

He has fed them, dressed them, changed them, taught them just as often as their parents have. Somehow a person's patience is just so attracting, and the girls enjoy being with him. They have had alot of fun over the years, and they cling to those memories.
He still feels like a lost soul for the majority of the day without them. He is having a hard time adjusting.

A quiet day here. Supposed to be just about the last sunshine day for awhile.
