Such a good visit with our oldest grandson

Josh, our 29 year old grandson and his girlfriend Jess came over for the day and it was wonderful. Josh loves his family, but he's always been a loner. I think Jess has been real good for him. I cooked meatballs with rice and gravy, fried squash, fried cornbread, fresh tomatoes, sweet tea, and had some leftover brownies. We had a nice visit...they had planned to drive to Nags Head after dinner, but realized there were several things to visit that way, so they'll devote a whole day to it. They brought us a pretty flowered plant and Josh gave me a pretty Indian looking scarf. I'm hoping he'll want to stay in touch now that they live two hours from us. I'll certainly make an effort to.

He's not one to keep in touch with family and he and his mom have had issues, so I'm hoping he'll keep in touch with us.

@1creekgirl Visits like that should be savoured because they are so nice and so rare.

How nice that he brought his girlfriend to visit. Hopefully the two hour trip will encourage them to visit more often.

I am glad you all had a wonderful visit. I hope you will have more get togethers as you are close to one another as well. I am like Josh, more of a loner than wanting to be around family. Sometimes it is better than having to deal with the tension and drama others bring.

You've come to the wrong place for unsweetened tea, lol.

How wonderful! I loved visiting my grandparents. I arranged my college classes so I could occasionally drive down on a Friday to visit them (2 1/2 hour drive), and drive home Sunday afternoon after church. Sometimes a guy just needs a good woman to bring him out of his shell, and vice versa. I’m so glad they got to stop by

We go to Raleigh for a day visit sometimes, so maybe they'll meet us for lunch. I want to encourage him to stay in touch.

I hope so, but at least maybe we'll talk more often by phone.
