Just wanted to update you all on "the life and times of Lynn Gray". Saturday night was the first night in my new place. My sister came up and spent the weekend. We stayed at Clinton's house on Friday night and got up early Saturday morning and moved my clothes, bed, and the few things I had left there. I am thankful she was here Saturday night to spend the first night here with me. I had to fight tears all day long as I carried things out, knowing I was leaving my grandkids behind. My Mom, sister and I went to eat Sunday afternoon then my sister went on home. Mom and I went over to see the kids and Isaiah came home and spent the night with me and stayed until about 8:00 this evening. Josiah was in Bloomington with Amy's Mom and Amy dropped Kaite off here while she went down to pick him up. She just cried and cried and kept asking me, "please Grammie, come back to our house where you belong". Just tears my heart out. Anyway, this is my first official night of being here with must me and my pets. I haven't spent the night in a house alone for almost 3 months. It's really going to be a huge adjustment not having the kids right there under the same roof. I know that sounds crazy, but we really do depend on each other a lot. I'm on vacation the rest of this week so hopefully I will be able to get some more boxes unpacked and figure out where to put things, hang things, and get into some sort of routine. Hopefully things will begin to smooth out and I will be able to spend more time checking journals and communicating with all of my dear and much loved and appreciated friends here on DS. When Clinton was about 5 years old, he and Lance were down in the stream playing under the bridge. He got his clothes muddy so instead of risking getting in trouble for tracking mud in the house, he just took off his clothes, left them under the bridge and came streaking across the yard, entering the house clean and naked as a jaybird!!!!! Lots of love and hugs to you all. I miss you and hopefully will be able to catch up soon...Lynn

Neat story, very funny. glad to hear you are settled in your new home, or at least, settling in.I\'ve yet to write memories of my son on here yet. It\'s a neat idea, but I guess I\'ve found it hard to do. maybe tonight or tomorrow. God be with you, our only source of strength.Love, marilyn
Lovely story of Clinton, making me smile, thank you for sharing. Hope that you are settled in you new place well. love Robyn
I hope that you will soon adjust to your new place and the little ones not being there every minute. Maybe it will be a good thing? I know it must be hard for you...but i am so glad you have a place. Enjoy the rest of the week and by the way...loved the Clinton story :) Karen
What a wonderful memory of Clinton! Did you make him go back and get his clothes? Hehehehe! I hope you soon settle into the routine at your new house. It\'s hard to make the change, but some time to yourself may be good for you. Get some rest! Love and hugs, Cyn
Lynn, I had to laugh at the Clinton story! I can see him running for the house. I also hope you have settled in to your new place. The blessing with having your own place is that you can have the grandkids over and truly spend time with them that is about you and them. Love and Hugs, Vera
You are having so many changes in your life, but you are so strong. God will help you through the adjustments. Love, Rita
