Roxy and 🍕 does sound pretty marvelous!

My adorable grandbabies are in Washington DC touristing so I’m not gonna get my grandma play days for awhile ☹. Hope I don’t shrivel up~even shriveled up however I am in no danger of blowing away. They aren’t coming home til a week from tomorrow so **two** Grandma play day Sundays will be missed! The horror!😰. If I’m lucky, when they get home they’ll ask me to come over even though it’s a work week night to wrangle the kidlets while the more able-bodied grownups unload, unpack and start the laundry. That and by then the adults are so shelled-shocked by being in a plane, hotel room or doing close-quartered sight-seeing for nine straight days with a 3 year old and a 7 year old that my daughter and SIL are overjoyed to shove the kidlet/hooligans in my general direction and abscond to the laundry room two floors away for 3 hours. I’ve never told my daughter and SIL that their offspring are equally glad for a little absence making the heart grow fonder. Plus I’m usually good for a little popsicles, cookies/candy and screen time.
