Lisa and Rachel's Visit...

 Yesterday we had a memorable visit with our daughter, Lisa White, her daughter Rachel Walmer, and her daughter, Ellie. Yes, that makes us great grandparents! Rachel and baby daughter arrived from North Carolina around 2:00 pm and Lisa arrived  from Wilmington , DE around 2:30. They had a shower to attend attend in the area around 11:00 and chose to stay with us overnight.

The first part of our visit was to meet once again our young great granddaughter and be amazed at how much she had grown since our last visit when she was still a neonate in proper parlance. Now she will be 9 months old on June the 30th. She stands a little wobbly and falls frequently. We have a carpeted floor so no injuries and up and at further attempts to stand. Ellie is incredibly curious about everything and has to be watched carefully.

Later in the afternoon, Jeff and Cathy, our daughter and son-in-law, Jeff  came over to visit and join in the fun and games with Ellie. After they left, Lisa and I drove out to a barbecue place and a grocery to buy the makings of supper. When we returned Lisa and Rachel assembled a tasty supper and we continued conversations.

After supper we moved to the living room where Rachel and I had interesting back and forth about AI, it's uses and potential good/evil for mankind. Rachel, our granddaughter, has a doctorate in a medical field and has some experience with AI. I just have a huge curiosity about many things and find AI a fascinating new way to  learn. We all turned in for the night around 10:30.

This morning we continued our visit over breakfast until around 10 am when they began the process to go to the next event, the wedding shower.
