• This morning I went to Kirstin’s to mind the kids whilst she went to a
  Junior Woman’s Club meeting (except it turned out it was held off-site,
  and since this was her first time to attend this particular section, no
  one thought to clue her in….she spent the time running errands,
  instead).  When I arrived it was to find Bryson in hog (and dog!)
  heaven:

  

  He’s certainly getting into the Halloween spirit. 

  Bethie was at school when I got there, but later in the morning we all
  piled into the van and went to fetch her.  First words out of her
  mouth were, “Did you remember “Anastasia” this time?”

  Was pleased and relieved to be able to assure that yes, this time Gran remembered. 

  

  Aren’t they cute? 

  When Kirstin was over on Saturday, visiting Alex and his family, she
  mentioned that Bethie’s begun requesting (actually, “demanding” is
  probably closer to the mark) stories as Kirstin drives them
  around. 

  I tell them stories, you see…..”Three Little Pigs,” and “Goldilocks
  and the Three Bears,” and I’m preparing “Little Red Riding Hood.”

  Anyway, Kirstin said she obliged with one story, then another, but upon
  being urged to tell yet another tale, she balked, saying she was tired
  of telling stories.

  Apparently this led to a deep, pregnant silence from the back, then Bethie observed with a certain amount of asperity, “Gran never gets tired of telling us stories!”

  Hehehehe.
