But the next few weeks DH and J#1 are off school and we&#8217;ll be doing some traveling and things will just be a tad bit quieter&#8230;.I hope.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, My Dad and Stepmom arrived for a quick visit.  But we hope to have them for a longer one next fall &#8211; assuming their 5th Wheel will fit in our driveway &#8211; and I think it will.  They are full-time RVers &#8211; they travel all year long&#8230;no home but the one they pull behind them. They love it.  It&#8217;t a bit hard to only see them twice a year &#8211; but that&#8217;s pretty much all I&#8217;ve had of my Dad since I was 5 &#8211; I just wish my kids had the opportunities to know them like they have with their other grandparents.  But, I really just need to count our blessings and remember we have great Grandparents all around and my kids are blessed!<\/p>\n<p>Then Friday evening the boys and I were going to drive up with my Dad and Stepmom to my sisters (where they&#8217;ve been staying for the week) and have a visit.  DH was to meet us Saturday afternoon as my sister&#8217;s house after a meeting. But Friday night he decided to cancel out and caravan with us up the hill!  <\/p>\n<p>Saturday we lazed about in the morning &#8211; and Kevin, my BIL, gave us the tour of his yard (he has the coolest yard).  When my Dad&#8217;s brother and his wife arrived, six of us adults got into our van and went off wine tasting.  I think we hit 3 wineries &#8211; it was a beautiful day to be out so there were lots of people up there.  We tasted lots of wine &#8211; come to find out I only like sweet wines &#8211; Reislings (Rieslings ?) and Muscats &#8211; dessert wines I guess you&#8217;d call them.  <\/p>\n<p>Well, I need to do some work around the house this afternoon &#8211; maybe even finish J1&#8217;s socks!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=202\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D202&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2Fcropped-poppy-150x150.jpg&#038;description=Past%20few%20days\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=202\" data-text=\"Past few days\" data-via=\"Knitnmom\" >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a class=\"tumblr-share-button\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/share\" data-title=\"Past few days\" data-content=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=202\" title=\"Share on Tumblr\"data-posttype=\"link\">Share on Tumblr<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button\" href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=202\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\" ><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;width:150px;\"><ul style=\"background-image:none;\"><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Past%20few%20days&body=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D202&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
