Well I must say it was quite a good time THEY had, LOL. My daughter and her nine college-mates came down for spring break and they had a great time. Of course,I tried to stay in the background, cooking spaghetti and meatballs, tater tot casseroles, doing the towels every day and packing their lunches each day for the parks. Taking the same picture of them with ten different cameras LOL. Worked great with a 2br and studio, though I slept on the sofa, it wasnt bad but I had to go through their room to get to a bathroom which was the only drawback.
They would call me when they were almost ready to eat, and I would run over to whatever park they were at and deliver the goods
(thank goodness for NExtel) I didnt mind though, as I wanted to save them money knowing the familiar poverty level stipend that students get. I smartened up after the first couple of days and had them fix their own sandwiches (i laid everything out) and put their name on it and write down their selection of beverage (the refrigerator and freezer were packed).
But i must say, they were the most polite group of girls I have ever seen and really enjoyed each other's company. The funniest thing i ever saw was when one of them hung the tail of a stuffed monkey on the ceiling fan, and turned it on low, LMAO.
I actually felt sad that I myself wasnt a college student too, thats how much fun they were having.
Well I got a package in the mail yesterday from UPS (at first I was afraid to open it as I didnt recognize the return address...some embroidery firm). I finally opened it today and inside was the most beautiful throw, embroidered with "Disney, March 2003" a beach scene and the words "thank you,with love". THere was a very touching thank you note with it, which gave me goose bumps. HOw thoughtful of them! Made all my little sacrifices worthwhile Mae

I guess it was too early in the morning when I posted! For some reason I took the "Doug" in your reply as your sign-off. I should have seen the "grandmother" reference and that your name was Mae! I was wondering if a Dad would be doing all the cooking, but you never know.
