Grandsons

I am blessed with many grandsons ranging from Taylor who is a husband and father to James who is just over one years old.  Two of my grandsons died in infancy.  The names are: Taylor, Richard, Arthur, Russell, Alden, Calvin, Geoffrey, Irish, Adam, Ralph, Rudy, Jared, Ruari,  Booker, Timothy, Tevita, Levi and James.   They are all beloved and they are all quite sweet.  Today I spent 7 hours with Rudy who has fairly severe autism.  We are friends.  We went to the park in the morning and to McDonald's in the early afternoon where he enjoyed the indoor playground but in the mid-afternoon when I was growing weary he became rough in his play and as the hour was approaching the time to leave, I left.  When I got home Adam and Calvin came up to my house and did a very good job of removing an apricot tree and its branches and leaves with loppers, a pull saw, a chain saw and garden nippers.  They are good workers, attentive to the task I set them and careful in their work.  They are homeschooled.  I employ them for a pittance but it is helpful to their family who are all quite amazing.  I am grateful for my grandsons, whatever their capabilities.
