Playing Cards with Grandpa D

This month started with a trip to Elsinore. Grandpa is doing really well and had been doing laps around the complex. He even wanted to go out for dinner. We took him to Pepperbelly's with Wayne & Marge for Mexican food. It was really fun and good to have him out and feeling so well. Then the big game was on!!!! The five of us went back to the Center and played Phase 10. He didn't win, but he was having a great time! I never get over the way he holds his cards (lol).
We have also had a guest at our place in Elsinore. Not an invited guest. We found him when we were there 2 weeks ago. He's a gopher. A very busy gopher. We had to take our trailer into Richfield to have service done, so it gave as the opportunity to try to "evict" him. Brent started to uncover some of his holes which then lead to tunnel after tunnel under our little patio. (He had even packed acorns from our oak tree into some of the tunnels.) Alas, so much for the patio and it was hard not to be impressed with the work done by this little rascal.


We packed some of his holes with traps and gopher bombs and headed for home. We'll see what's there when we return in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, he'll be gone. Too bad something so cute does so much damage!!!
