Good Medicine

If you are ever having a day when you don't just feel right or like yourself, spend a day with children at a park and your will be cured.

That is just what I did over the weekend, I went down to southern Iowa to visit my son and 3 1/2 year old twins. I always have a good time with them and this weekend I really needed a good time.

They kept me busy, doing all the things grandmas do with grandchildren. We played outside, we chased each other, we ate Cheetos, got out the little bikes, played ball, picked apples, played with the kitties, played with my dogs, picked up acorns, colored and all other kinds of fun things. They make a grandma laugh and that is the best medicine.

We went to the park Sunday before I headed home and they had so much fun and I did just watching them. They slid down slides, went on the teeter totter, got in the swings to go up to the sky, climbed ladders, and just plain had a good time. They started to slow down towards the end, but I was slowing down long before them, I just tried not to show it. Brandon and Machelle did most of the work and I just enjoyed the fun.



A good dose of medicine for the week is what I got. They brighten my day and make me feel good. Their smiles light up the place.

I got good news from the MRI and CAT Scan yesterday. No cancer anywhere except where they originally found it so that makes things easier. Now I meet with cancer doctor Thursday afternoon and we will figure out what the next step is. Whatever he says, I always have the smiles and hugs of my grandchildren to give me the best dose of medicine there is. "I love you Gramma Nee Nee" they say as we say good night or good bye. "Love you also my little ones".
