Extended time with grandparents
                                                  As my grandparents were getting ready to go home Wednesday night grandpa looked at me and asked if I wasn't doing anything if I would be interested in spending the night with them at their house that night.  Right away I was for it and I went to grab my things.   I was in a little bit of a rush because I didn't want to keep them waiting that I forgot to grab my pajamas but that didn't matter.  There are times when I sleep in my clothes since I wear comfortable clothing anyway LOL.  But anyway grandma and I had a good time.  She was in the middle of an interesting book so she kept asking me if I wanted to read which didn't bother me since I am the middle of a good book at the moment as well.  
                                                   I am happy to say that she finished her book but I am not done with mine yet. For the record I am reading the last of a Beverly Lewis book called The Mercy.  For those of you that don't know she writes amish fiction.  Each series is about a different family and is quite interesting.  You have to start the reading the books in order because they leave you hanging.  
                                              If you are interested in the series that I am reading now the first book is called The Thorn, but she also has a new novel out now called The Fiddler.  I noticed that grandpa is reading that one now.  OK OK enough about that in addition to reading grandma and I also played cards.  Grandma and I like to play to card games in particular and they are Golf and Garbage.  I know they are unusual games but they are fun and I will give you the rules to both games.  
                                     Golf : You deal out six cards to each player and place them in two rows of three face down in front of you.  DON'T look at your cards.  Beginning at the dealers left, you take turns drawling single cards from the stock or discard pile trying to make pairs beside each other.  But the card that was face down there before has to be discarded.  Here is how the scoring works.
                   A's = 1 
                    Jack's = 0 
                    K = -2 
                Q's = 10 and everything else their normal value and if you get a pair right beside each other they cancel each other out.  The hand ends when all cards all face up and just like golf you want the lowest score and there are nine hands total.  It's fun and you don't have to lug a golf bag around LOL.  Depending on how many players you may need another deck. 
                                   Garbage:  This is so simple a child can play it, all you do is deal out 10 cards and lay them out in a row face down and say the top card is the 2, you put it wear the second card is.  You can continue to play but if you come across a card that such as a Jack or a Queen or if I turned over a two I would have to discard it and say garbage.  They are both really fun and if you are looking for a new card game to play I advise you to play one of those games :) 
                          Anyway during the evening things started going downhill.  We went to pizza oven for dinner and grandpa insisted ordering for all of us and grandma and I told him what we wanted.  He heard my order wrong.  I had originally wanted this specialty buffalo chicken pizza but he ordered me the BBQ chicken pizza instead and to make things worse I had originally wanted water to drink but they didn't have any.  What restaurant doesn't have water but I didn't want to say anything to grandpa because I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I just ate the BBQ chicken pizza he ordered and drank the lemonade he got for me.
                                 On top of that when I got back I received a text from mom asking if she needed to come and get me.  I asked if she would and she sent an alarmingly text such as can you please stay another night?  It seemed like she didn't even want me around and it seemed like in my mind and to me it seemed like she was yelling.  I text that I didn't mind staying another night but she didn't have to yell.  She text that she wasn't yelling but it's just she had not heard from me.  I basically apologized but I said I don't like to disturb her at work especially when she's busy.  In a way I am glad I stayed another night I don't think seeing mom would solve anything.  Well anyway besides that I had fun.  Grandma made a homemade apple pie that was to die for.  YUMMY!  I had some for breakfast both mornings.  I better go, stay tuned for further updates there is an exciting event coming up.
