nice visit

Today was a very nice visit with Phyllis and our grandkits.  This morning we helped her take her bicycle to a repair shop and then did some grocery shopping for our stay.  Jo had put together a large pot of soup this morning in the trailer and that went well for lunch.  This afternoon we had a couple of games of cards and Phyllis was so mean to her folks that she didn't let us win either one.

One of her favorite meals when ever we are around is Missouri Ozarks deep fried cornmeal catfish.  We had brought the fish from home and Jo also brought her baby fryer to do them in.  The menu for this evening was home made coleslaw with dressing, cooked kale, catfish, and honey dew melon, yum.

Here are a couple of pictures of the grandkits.  The first one shows them together and Phyllis said that this is the first time that they have taken naps this close to each other.  The second picture is Jo getting real acquainted with the new kitty.  They are both rescue kittens.  Rosie was apparently abused as a kitten which is why she is shy around strangers.  Louise is so cute and full of kitten liveliness.
