Carol Perkins: A visit with the grandsons Previous Column: The telephone is ringing By Carol Perkins For Father's Day, Jon devised a plan for Guy. The gift involved the Texas grandsons. Jon gave his dad a one-way ticket to Austin, an overnight stay, and a road trip with Luke (18) and Noah (14) back to Kentucky with Luke and Guy rotating driving duties. Guy left for Austin on Saturday and by Monday night they were in Kentucky. During those long hours on the road, Guy had a chance to be alone with the young men, which doesn't happen often, if ever. Then the plan continued. The boys were to visit here until Friday the 2nd and then I was going to make the road trip back to Texas with them and spend a week! As I sit at my computer, my bags are packed, and we leave in the morning. Where was Eme? She had a beach trip planned during this time. This gift keeps giving. When young people are around, life is better. At least that's true for me.
