Jeff and Josie are on vacation so I got to tend the grandkids for three days. I wish I was Mary Poppins. My grandkids deserve a magic babysitter. Of course I'm not magic but I try and make the time I spend with them memorable. We went to the Children's Museum today. It was noisy and crowded with school children who were rude and hyper and not nearly as cute as my grandkids.
We went to the top the the Church building to view the city.

And of course we frosted sugar cookies with the cousins.
The night before I was to be at Jeff's home there were winter storm warnings on TV. I got up and left at 5:30 so I would be sure and arrive on time. The warnings did not do the storm justice. When I got into the canyon I decided it was too severe to continue. I turned around and decided to go home and wait it out. But then other cars were going through so I decided to follow them. I could only go 20 miles an hour. The wind was blowing and visability was zero. It was terrifying. I'm glad I know the canyon well. I knew if I could make it to the summit I would be all right. All I can say is, "Just try and keep a grandma from a date with her grandkids".
