A Field Trip to Krispy Kreme
Because I had to go to Valley, AL (mine and Sherry's home town) this week (8/18-21) for a funeral I got to spend a little while with Daniel and his family since I have to go through Albany, where they live, on my way to Valley. Now, is that convenient or what?
Daniel and Michelle's oldest, Lydia, loves Krispy Kreme donuts. Therefore, it's becoming a "family tradition" that whenever I/we visit with them we take a trip to KK. It is so much fun to watch Lydia whenever we go there. One of the first things she does when she walks into the store is she goes to the counter and gets one of the hats to wear, thus the picture at left. It is also fun to watch as she devours her donut. She usually crams half of the donut in her mouth at once which results in both cheeks bulging to the point that they look like they will pop at any moment. Although the picture at left will give you an idea of what I'm talking about, I failed to get a really good one this time, one with her cheeks really bulging and KK frosting all over her face. It's worth the trip to Albany and expense just to see the pleasure she gets out of the trip to KK.
As I related in an earlier post, grandchildren are really special. While I was in Valley I had the opportunity to visit with Sherry's uncle and aunt, Owen and Jeanene Colley. The Colley's have 8 or 9 grandkids. As we were talking Ms. Jeanene said, "You know, grandchildren are just really special." That they are!!! I'm grateful for the two wonderful granddaughters the Lord has blessed Sherry and I with and I look forward to when Trinity is old enough to enjoy a trip to KK along with her big sister and the rest of the gang. Until then, Lydia will remain the center of attention as she devours her KK donut.
