Miss the grandsons.

I almost forgot to mention my little run in with biting ants! As we were pulling out I unhooked my electric cord and wrapped it up to stow in the trunk of the trailer. Suddenly I felt as though I had gotten into Nettles with my hands. In looking at them closer I noticed a lot of little ants. I had dragged the cord across their ant hill and they were biting the hell out of my hands. I quickly brushed them off and off my socks. then I went inside and my DIL had me rub vinigar on my hands. The Nettle feel went away shortly.

Those ants are something else!

I asked my son if they are fire ants and he just shrugged.
