This Wisconsin son does not want much to do with family gatherings here in Illinois so the two of us go up there as we want to keep in touch with them. <br />I "snapchat" and "instagram" with these teenage grandkids - anything to keep in touch!

The best laid plans of mice and men. I've decided to have Christmas a week early, so we'll do it this Sunday.

I don't know your exact circumstances. There were planes that I had bought tickets to fly on (to meet my new grandson) where I didn't get to make the trip. Bitterly disappointing but reality.
