Lots of activity this week with Jonathan and Elizabeth at the farm. Jonathan is a real pleasure - so exuberant, curious and happy - his giggles are infectious. Friday was Gram's day while E&P went off on a researching expedition. J & I played miniature golf, had an ice cream soda at the soda fountain, played in the swimming pool that Pat set up in the yard - it's a great size for Jonathan. (So far I'm the only adult willing to get in the pool with him.) And we played computer Solitaire which J could probably play non-stop if anyone would play with him that long. His computer mouse skills are certainly at a high level. It's funny to hear him say when we're through playing, "I think I'll minimize it now". He helped me dig for potatoes, didn't like getting the peas out of the pod; we've also made zucchini bread. An exciting event of the day is going to get the mail in the Gator - usually Boppa and J's activity. We've also ridden the Gator down to the creek to see if it has water.
