Whatta crazy month, but a good one. DD and DSIL are officially here. It was a crazy process, after her grad school graduation, dd and I drove her and her 2 cats and 2 dogs here from Texas. DSIL retired from the Marie Corps on May 28th, then he, DS and another friend took a roadtrip here. They got back on Saturday.
All I can say, is it feels great to have all the kids nearby. Last night we grilled and had the family over for the evening.

Whatta feeling to sit at a dinner table with both kids, their spouses and granddaughter!!

DDIL with Sadie (one of DD's and DSIL's dogs)
The first night was a li'l rough for DSIL, we do have a suite area in the back of the house that they can set up as their own..it has a bedroom, bathroom (both very small) and a living area (no kitchen)...but the ac does not work real well ...so it can get real stuffy. And it was in the 90's on Saturday...but he said, after waking up and walking the acreage...he decided he can 'make it work'. He loves the outdoors. He grew up in Oklahoma, so is quite comfortable with all our critters and stuff.

The Cats are adjusting. We've had a couple of weeks of doors closed...but when the dogs are outside doing their 'business', we've let our 2 cats mingle with their 2 cats. At first, lots of growling and hissing and puffy tails (I've re-nicknamed Winston, Puff Daddy) BUT now, they tread carefully, and 'talk' to each other...but no sign of fighting...so, I'm hopeful.
