Since coming back from Singapore some two weeks ago, it is 'business' as usual. The gardens and orchard are in dire need of attention, such as weeding and watering which I gladly and routinely performed. Wife does her usual chores inside the house.
However in the midst of normality, a few things also cropped up which brought us some excitement.
Little Joachim, my other grandson celebrated his very first birthday last Saturday with close relatives and friends attending. Lots of excitement permeated the large house of his paternal grand-parents with very sumptuous food to serve. The super active little boy forgot his bedtime scheduled at 9, and only went to sleep close to midnite.
Then the coincidental meeting up with my friend, Mr. ECS, a retired Judge whom I had known some thirty years back. Though, not in the prime of heath, ECS was still very eloquent and we recounted old times when we were on the same side of the law, sending criminals to jail. It was a very happy two-hour talk shop.
Son has today returned to assume his office work after a hiatus of two weeks and a half. Things are working out just fine and in about 10 days, son and daughter-in-law would be celebrating the Full Moon for baby Evan. Our whole family would be there to share this very eventful happy occasion.
Soon after, real work would be squarely laid on my and wife's shoulders to carry on the arduous tasks of helping DIL in taking care of baby in the subsequent days and weeks to come. However, we are more than glad to help in the drudgery of changing diapers etc, in having participated first-hand and up-close as a direct witnesses to the miracles of the early life of my grandson.
Meanwhile we are enjoying this present rather calm and uneventful interlude.
