Grand-daughter Dano has completed the “textbook” requirements needed to become a CNA (I think it is “certified nursing assistant”). Next is the “hands on” training followed by the the final test. Then the “big money”. Go Dano. The journey takes her towards RN.
At Christmas, there are random gifts we hand out. One of those gifts this year was a model plastic car kit, a corvette. I think it was Grandson Grant who won it but forgot to take it home with him. Rather than throw out the kit or send it to Grant, I assembled the corvette myself. I didn’t bother to paint the various body parts or put on decals but it looks pretty good. To Grant all I have to say is “losers weepers, finders keepers”. It just goes to show what I do with my time when bored.
I mentioned that we were going to change the tradition of buying 4 season tickets to UW football games at Camp Randall. Instead of 4 tickets, we are going to buy 2 tickets. The family interest in the tickets seems to have waned. There are usually “other” tickets available for individual games through Craigs List (or local friends) should additional tickets be desired. Last year, I did not see a single football game. Your Mom would not let me go (of course heart surgery might have had something to do with that).
Grasshopper No.2 and family heads out on a Caribbean cruise in a couple weeks.
Grasshopper No.4 and family heads to Florida next week.
Why is everybody going south?
Love,
Dad
