#sonOne has not said whether #GS1, #GD1, #GD2 know I'm coming. I'm not expecting to see #GS2, as he lives some distance (2-3 hours drive time in each direction), on top of him being 25.
I expressed that it would be great if #Daddy_A could visit during this time. It has been something like 20 years since all three of them were present at the same place and time. -

She immediately responded. It is 13:00 there, so she should be in school, not on her phone.
I'm not telling on her. I just have to keep better track of when to send. Not before 15:30 US-Central on weekdays. -

It cannot be difficult.
I sent a picture of the finished product to #GD2 with that comment and she said they looked good already, but that would be a good thing to learn.
So maybe we’ll hang out in the kitchen when I visit.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

If I send a birthday or Christmas gift, I receive a thank you note. If I send greetings on New Year’s Day or Independence Day, I’ll receive a response. Other than that, he doesn’t communicate. And because he’s well able to communicate if he chooses, his non-communication means that I’m only rarely willing anymore to make an effort outside of certain special days.

She was happy for him. I tell you, I really love that she’s not jealous over the attention her cousin gets. Honestly, I do try to give every one of the grandkids a similar high level of attention, but (1) life gets in the way, (2) as they get older and gain their own communications devices, relationship is a two-way street, (3) until that point, it is dependent on parental effort as much as it is on grandparent effort.

I congratulated her on being able to imagine well enough to play such games. I told her about a friend’s daughter who used to play “pretend this” and “pretend that”. After a few minutes, I would have a headache from the effort of trying to imagine so much.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

She said she's going to talk to her parents ( #sonOne and his wife ) about sending me something.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I did attempt to call with #sonOne's youngest daughter ( #GD2 ), but network issues prevented the connection.
#Daddy_A's oldest, #A1, hasn't had service for his phone in so long that he'll probably have a new number if and when they reactivate it.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

The first time I heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ9_MwZIaoc I thought they were saying "bald headed woman" ... decades later, I still initially recall those words instead of the true lyrics.

I admit it was difficult to find something that doesn't say "little girl" when she's in middle school. #SonOne says she's growing a lot, so when I asked her for her sizes, I was surprised how small her clothing is. It's barely larger than the clothes her cousin #A3 (6 years younger) wears.
I went to a "Ross" store, so she got a pink and gray t-shirt, black pants, and a pink hoodie for around $25.
Usually, I consult S for these purchases, but this time she wasn't available.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

As far as I’m aware, #A-2 and #A-3 are leaving their hair in its natural color. As are #GS-3, #GS-4, #GS-5.
That’s ages 1-16.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

In five or six years, she has never before had any errors in anything she has written.
I mean she’s never misspelled a word, never written “your” when she meant “you’re”. She’s never used texting slang ( such as “UR” ) either.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

It warned 5.5 magnitude quake near Ojai. Shaking heading your way. Take cover now!
But I (correctly) believed that an M5.5 quake in Ojai is too far away to pose any danger here. But we did get to talk about earthquakes and tropical storms (and about her 4 year old cousin #GS3, who is very interested in weather).In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
