Well, seeing you here & posting with your usual good humor is an upturn, for sure! Also, I love your avatar.
Since it's been a year since you posted, I guess it would be appropriate to cover the last 12 months.
I moved right about this time last year. The house has had some annoying problems, but I like my landlady & I love the neighborhood. Some pressing financial problems were resolved, so fewer nagging worries. My effed-up car situation defeated me. I'm mostly healthy, but have had a lingering minor cold or flu. My dear dog was stolen/poisoned/killed/? which really depressed me. Recently I felt okay about getting another one & now have a puppy who's a source of delight.
Hmmm. Looking at that list, it seems the balance comes out positive, if rather boring.
So, what's up, what's happened with you?

Well. Here goes
At last posts I had told you all about our discovered granddaughters. We had just returned from a trip to New York City which we are in love with. We had planned a trip to Rome and a cruise with the girls for August 2011. So here is the update.
1. Kirk's son moved out of his house and filed for divorce in January 2011. 2. Younger granddaughter crashed and burned mentally and physically and cut us out of her life. Haven't spoken to her in almost a year. 3. Older granddaughter (20) Heather has been awesome. She has become a beautiful young lady. She is very close to us. 4. We took the trip but because of Kay's attitude she wasn't going with us. We had everything finalized and one week before depature Heather called and said she couldn't Go because she is pregnant. The doctor nixed flying because she is high risk. She had many lady problems early and was certified sterile. Ha ha. She also is on seizure medication. So far so good 5 months now. Just had a text from her and a picture of the last sonogram. It's a girl!!!
Part of the bumps, uturns etc were just trying to understand how to interact with the girls. Having no experience raising children was quite a challenge. Luckily we have awesome friends and they were our counselers. It is an ongoing subject and we are now going to be great grandparents. And to think that three years ago we didn't even know we were grandparents. These are the highlights or lowlights. Smaller things obviously happened. Had some health issues. All taken care. Other than that still truckin along !! The avatar is the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I took the picture.

Oh goodness, T63 -- it doesn't take too long to tell, but that is an immensely stressful year you describe.
If it's not too invasive, I think you're going to have to bring us up to speed on who's who and why Kirk's son's divorce was such a stress factor in your lives. Is Kay living at home and do you think she'll be all right? As far as I can remember, you never told that the girls would be living with you & your husband.
Well, I certainly hope that you & Kirk were able to salvage some pleasure from the trip for yourselves. Did you do any wine tasting? Where all did you go?

Wow, that was a really complicated year! But it looks like things might be improving now.

My highway is reaching a major construction zone with unclear detours.
