During last weekend’s savage wind and dust storm, the power had been knocked out and going outside was simply a bad idea.  So how better to spend that time than to hang out with The Kids.

But they were mostly napping (it was that time of the day).  The only one who really noticed and seemed interested was Grendel.  The moment I sat down on the bedroom floor so I could visit with them while keeping an eye on the goings-on outside, he climbed right up into my lap and made himself comfortable.
