phone conversation with Mom

Hi all,
First of all, we (Dylan and I) really enjoyed having Mom, Kathy, Fred, and Brandon last weekend. We grilled out burgers/dogs (good ole Fred...the grillmaster) Sat. night and watched Cars with Brandon....how many times, Kathy? :o) I hated to see y'all go so early Sunday morning, but Fred reminds me of Dad in that respect....early to rise and hit the road early! Kathy and Fred are such wonderful grandparents to Brandon..he is blessed to have you both in his life!
I called Mom last night to tell her I probably was NOT coming up this weekend...maybe the next...I have my final project due in this class and I haven't accomplished much on it this weekend, other than the research. Mom had also previously told me she kept a pistol by her bed (I didn't know it was under the pillow); I said, "Mom, what would you do if it were one of your kids coming into the house?" and she replied, "Y'all just better not come into the house at night!" She told me about going to the Brickery with Jane and Harold, and I told her Lauren and I would go with her to church when we come up. Mom told me that ---- Littleton, the man that spoke at Dad's funeral, was fighting something....she wasn't sure what but thought it was cancer, and that she needed to get back into Sunday School to "support the young folks in her class."
Dylan and I have a few days off in October (9th - 13th, I think) so maybe we'll take Mom back to AL then...I'll talk to her and see. I just know how much she AND Mary enjoyed the visit.
Better get writing...love to all,
Robin
