1/16 In Southern California

Jill and Hunter picked me up from the Burbank airport. After a brief lunch we went to school to pick up Ms. Kayla from first grade. I wasn't standing near Jill, and suddenly saw Kayla looking up at Jill with tears in her eyes. "Where's Grandma?" I immediately said, "Here I am, sweetie," and she was fine right away. What a treat to be able to make her so happy with just my presence.

I helped a little with her homework, and Jill finished. Afterward, Kayla and Hunter made a "water stand" indoors, where they pretend it's a hot day and sell water. I bought some for Jill and myself, and boy was it good. The cost was $6.51, so I was lucky they accepted pretend money.

Tonight, after dinner we'll have our (very) late Christmas. Can't wait.
