Being Retired now, I thought that it was time for a new name to this Blog |
I'm A Great-Grandfather? Yep, I'm A Great-Grandfather? Three times over now. I have two Great-Grand Daughters, ages 1 & 2, and a newborn Great-Grandson, born July 7th, 2025. I haven't said much about them though, since only one of my Grand-daughters is now married. The other two are not married, and a bit young for my taste. Not to worry though, they are not underage! The plan for today is to go shopping for newborn clothes. My Great-Grandson was born weighing only 5 lbs, 14.5 oz. Our children were a lot heavier, weighing from 8 lbs 15 oz to 9 lb 7 oz! I've been told by Grandma that if we buy diapers, get newborn size, and if we buy clothes, to get Preemie size. I'm just not used to babies this small! So today is a shopping day. Maybe I can talk my wife into lunch somewhere too. It would be nice, we haven't gone out much at all with this high heat we're having. I have to laugh at the term high heat though. It's only 83 out right now, the high is supposed to be in the low 90's. That's not overly hot to me; Hell, the Engineroom on a Submarine (where I stood watch and worked) were typically in the upper 90's, during drills it wasn't uncommon to exceed 100! But... Humidity was low then, I was a young man; plus I weighed a lot less. Yes it's true. Fat men sweat a lot easier than a thin one. Other than shopping, it's going to be a lazy day. We're still looking at Motorhomes. I want us to get to Indianapolis tomorrow. There are a couple of very nice Navion's in various lots. We'll see what happens with that, huh. |
