MASCOTS: While the Buzzers were here, they made HUGE progress on their fear of dogs. By the time they left, they were so eager to play with Daisey that she was begging to get locked in her crate so she could get a rest! LOL

GRAMMY IN RECOVERY: Hugged and kissed the last departures yesterday morning. ::sigh:: It was a great holiday. I’m exhausted! LOL The toys are almost all back on their shelves, but I can’t find the marbles for the marble run. No doubt the fastest way to find them will be to order a new bag of marbles. Dishes – half done. Laundry – half done. Desk – don’t ask. Aaaaaand, on to the news …

GRAMMY UPDATE: The Buzzers departed this morning. The Texans arrive tomorrow afternoon.

SCIENCE CENTER FUN: This sand table is hooked up to 3D mapping software. If you wiggle your fingers over it, the computer will make “rain” and show you how the water will behave on the terrain you built with the sand. As I write this, the Mascots have finished getting Bootz’s “I face planted on a table” stitches removed from his lower lip and are enjoying lunch at Friendly! So I’m going to be rushing again to get this posted before they return cuz Grammy gotta be Grammy!
