Today was quite the day. Started out by visiting a family friend whom I've known since I was born. Pat Swain used to babysit me and my brother and were like a second family to us. I always try to keep in touch with them a little.
Then this afternoon we joined my parents and went to Edgerton Minnesota to celebrate my grandpa's 90th birthday. His actual birthday was the 14th but today was as good as any day to celebrate. There were people there that I had no idea who they were and some I'm related to and still don't know who they are. Of course family was there as well, including my uncle Dave and cousin Wendy who live in Colorado. We never see them so it was nice that they could be here for this big shin dig. Hopefully we will see more of them more often.
My grandpa seemed to enjoy himself and got lots of nice cards to wish him well.
After the party, the family went to my aunts house for pizza and just some time to talk and wind down I guess.
Mark had a meeting in Williams Iowa today so he didn't get to the party til about 4, just in time to clean up. So that meant Mark had his little car, so I drove back to my parents with him while the girls were with gramma and bapa. When mark and I got back to my parents we discovered that our dog had destroyed my parents screen door in the garage. See Snoopy can't be left alone for any amount of time because he like freaks out. You walk out the door for a couple mins and he goes nuts, either taking stuff out of the garbage or off the counter. He has been known to climb on the table and even on my desk to reach whatever he can find. So when we go away for the weekend we either bring him with or leave him at Mark's parents, well today we were at my parents. We shut him out in the sunroom and left the door open so he could get in and out if he needed to go to the bathroom, somehow he got shut in the garage and went crazy. I think its time to get rid of the dog so we have no more issues.
So, in spite of the dumb dog, it was a good day with family!
P.S. anyone want a rat terrier?!? He is free!
