#sonOne informed me that he's taking #GD1 and #GD2 to a multi-ethnic festival today. It looks like it would be both fun and delicious.
(One thing I really liked about our family get togethers was the various foods that people's spouses [and sometimes the spouses'' families] brought.)

#Amazon's shipping is unpredictable. The items I ordered for #Toddler_A2's and #Baby_A3's birthdays were unexpectedly all delivered Thursday (ahead of estimates). Their birthdays are next week and the week after. The item I ordered for #GD1's birthday arrives in the next 5 to 9 days (earlier than the original estimate, which was over a month out).
I'm glad they weren't late (as several shipments to home have been this year), but I think it is time to find a second-source vendor.
-
Nice! The delivery estimate for #GD1's present has been moved forward. Her #2DS game should arrive less than three weeks after her eleventh birthday.
-
My 11 year old granddaughter #GD1 will receive her birthday present this month after all. Expected delivery is between 2018-08-27 and 2018-08-31.
-
I ordered a #2DS game for #GD1. It could be mid-September by the time it arrives, which is long after her birthday.
I also got a "magnadoodle" type thing for #Baby_A3, which should arrive before her first birthday, and some Hot Wheels cars for #Toddler_A2, which should arrive on or before his birthday.
-
Great talking with #sonOne today. We discussed games ( #2DS / #3DS, #Switch, #PS4, WinPC ), vehicles, jobs, his brother #sonTwo, and the outing they did for #GD1's 11th birthday.
Of course, I talked with the oldest granddaughter and also briefly with the half-asleep six year old #GD2. (She had her first negative online experience. Someone persuaded her to give them her password for an online service targeted at kids; even after they recovered her account and reported the other person, he's still roaming the virtual world, targeting obviously very young kids. I think my son is going to cancel their accounts in favor them joining a limited-access Minecraft server run by a co-worker.)

Wonderful hourlong call with #sonOne. Today we discussed:
* Sega Genesis / Aladdin / modern clone consoles
* Nintendo Entertainment System / modern clone consoles
* YouTube channels and podcasts
* Building gaming PCs
* Family stuff ( #lazyNephew, #sonTwo, #GD1, #GS1, and the almost-member @mike )
* Job stuff
* Riding (bicycles and motorcycles)
Lots of pauses today, and the granddaughters were still asleep, so I did not get to say hi to them. I decided not to leave any #blue_pawprint s, so he won't know I'm replacing his #PS4 until it arrives Saturday.
-
I looked at my phone and I was happy to see I had received a text message from #GD1 overnight. Then I saw: "Switch to Signal! [some-link]"
No, dear. #Signal is not in #F-Droid and they want my phone number. I won't try to explain the danger of relying on a single central server, because she's only 10, but not only is it not federated, it has no intention of ever being federated.
No thanks!

@mike This one is going to #sonOne's house. #GD1 and #GD2 are also going to get to play with the Etch-A-Sketch. I'll have to let him know something is coming, because #GS1 will need to come out of the bedroom and be ready to bring the items inside.
-
Granddaughters #GD1 and #GD2 are still enjoying Zelda on #2DS handhelds. #Baby_A2 is loving his brother's new Hot Wheels stuff. I have not heard whether #Little_Boy_A is enjoying his 2DS and #Switch games, but I imagine he's too busy playing them to answer the question. I hope the others are also enjoying their 2DS & #3DS stuff.
-
Me texting #GD1: "I think tomorrow is a day to celebrate elves with swords. You'll know what I mean when the time comes."
.
#2DS handhelds with "Link: Ocarina of Time" arrive tomorrow for her and her sister #GD2.
-
@zacts Granddaughters #GD1 and #GD2 have "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" 2DS systems heading their way.
-
Another #Blue_Pawprint: I told #GD1 that I know what an ocarina is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocarina
-
I spilled the secret on all the undelivered gifts except for the Hot Wheels for #Little_Boy_A and the #2DS handhelds for #GD1 and #GD2.
The uncoordinated delivery schedule meant that parts of one gift order could be delivered over a week's time.

I'll bet @dog and @mike are snickering to themselves, wondering how long it will be until I send #GD1 and #GD2 each a system.
-
I was on the phone with #sonTwo, discussing my plan to buy #2DS and #3DS systems for his nieces #GD1 and #GD2. He says "You're just going to spend all your money".
-
Wrapped up the call by talking to #GD1 and half-asleep #GD2 on speakerphone. I learned that they miss watching "Teen Titans" now that they don't have cable.
-
I haven't actually played my #3DS since I got to #PR. I pull it out of the backpack, turn it on, get distracted, come back after an hour or so and turn it back off. I might just send it to #GD1 and #GD2.
I can buy another one if and when I'm actually going to play it. Uh, wait. They don't recommend it for under 7 because the 3D can damage visual perception. I guess I'll hold on until my little princess is older.
-
Just had a call with #sonOne. We talked about work (his and mine), about take your kid to work day (because #GD1 participated at his employer), and the activities that #sonTwo and @mike are participating in. As a result of the conversation, about $250 worth of goods will soon be in-transit to NW Arkansas.
This was the weekly call that hasn't happened in a few weeks.
-
#sonOne took #GD1 to "take your kid to work day" ... from the description, she's probably not going to see much actual work. Lots of scripted activities.
