After a long pause...

I have returned.. for a short time.

My Gram will be 79 this year, and isn't in the greatest of health. She cannot live alone. My cousin was living with her, but basically, she fought the law, and the law won, so I've been staying there.

Over the last couple weeks, I've had a few interesting "firsts". I got manure under my nails for the first time. Gram went to Rural King, and came home with two new lilac bushes, and a 40-lb. bag of manure.

I planted a tree for the first time. My cousin and his wife just bought a new house, and they've been redoing the yard, and she brought Gram flowers (yes.. more manure), and an oak sapling.

I rode a riding lawn mower for the first time. My Gram lives on an acre, that's basically nothing but grass. It took a long time...

I got a sunburn for the first time ever.. courtesy of volunteering to cut the grass.

My cousin goes to court on Thursday, so I may or may not find out if I'm coming home, or moving in there officially.

But for the time being, thanks for reading, I'll try to blog more next weekend, if I come home.
