I passed on most of my usual morning routines to get to the Rec. by 8 and Nancy had several chores for me to do after getting back around 10. That was the stipulation; pickle ball early and then chores until we actually left to pick up the grands to take to Bobby's around 2 PM. to spent Christmas with Anns and Gabe, have a dinner with them an open gifts. My first cousin Tammy and her family were visiting from N.C. Her dad was my uncle J.R. or as I called Uncle Junior and he was my mothers younger brother. Well they were here in Florida and got word just before we left to pick up the grands that he had a heart attack and passed away at the age of 86. We are and were in shock although he was having some kidney issues and was on dialysis at a rehab hospital in N.C.
They were here for the week and had no idea he would go so fast since he was in a rehab hospital and was planning on the last nights dinner at Bobby's and then spending Christmas Day with us here in Seminole and having dinner with us as well. They are at a loss of what to do do because Megan their oldest daughter flew in from Charlotte where she lives and isn't expected to leave until Friday. She, Rick and Brooke their high school senior drove down from the Wilmington area where they live. Brooke plans on attending Virginia Tech next September for her first year in college.
Well the dinner at Bobby's was exceptionally good as he changed menu's at the last moment due to the boys(Ryder and Huck) coming earlier than planned. Katie didn't get to the dinner as she was released from the hospital but now stays in the room with boys and they even have a place in the room where she sleeps and nurses the boys until they get mature enough to go home which will be several weeks as it looks right now. the grands had a great time playing and it was going on 9'ish before we said our good bye's. We are planning on visiting the boys in the afternoon for a couple hours before attending the candlelight service at SFBC with Amy's Family, LATER
