After my mom's birthday weekend, my grandma got to stay with us for a week! My grandma is 84 and has some really great stories. We had such a fun time! I loved listening to her stories about when she was little and young and in a very different time! She had stories about helping her dad in the candy store in Brigham City - traveling on the train - moving to Ohio after getting married (and finding out that Utah was 100 years ahead of Ohio in time)! :) She told stories about my mom that made me laugh so hard I was almost crying.
We ate, went through recipes, did a little shopping, watched TV, played the piano (grandma taught lessons for probably over 50 years),
and I got to show her where I work. She even helped me do some housework and homework with the kids. And grandma always gets the kids practicing the piano! She's a good teacher and the kids respond really well to her! Nice work, grandma (and kids)!
And just as we were leaving to see Downtown Augusta, I got a call from the school that Kyler was sick and needed to come home. So although we didn't get to do all I wanted us to do, we did have such a wonderful time together. And the kids loved having her here, too! It really was a treat!
Now, if I could just get her to write down her stories! :)
