Parenting duplicating and graying out child objects in outliner

I am having an issue all of a sudden when parenting a few objects just added in that they parent but appear to be a duplicate in the hierarchy under the parent and are grayed out. This is using Blender 3.0

As you can see these last 2 I parented are grayed under parent and still remain below in the collection when they were created. I have been parenting other objects (drag n drop as well as Ctrl P keeping transforms too) just fine until today and have no idea why I am getting these results?

Can someone help me understand why I am now getting these results and how to correct this issue? TIA! Rick...

Solution

Please see my previous comment resolving my issue at least and maybe this will help others should it happen to them. Thanks. Rick...
