It was like bein' at home

That's what Grandma said to me when she was leaving. After spending 3 days shopping, as much as she could, eating and sleeping with me and mine.

She felt like she was at home.
There is no higher compliment, is there?

I have 20 first cousins and my Grandmother has the ability to make each of us feel as if we are her favorite. Don't know how she does it, but she does. There have been long distance telephone calls debating this subject. Many times. Mostly, because I know it's me! And them trifiling cousins of mine and my brother ain't tryin' to hear it! HA!

We went shopping early Friday morning. No place special. TJ Max, Big Lots and the mall. We went to my daughter's bball game Friday night. Our girls won and Grandma had a ball. And so did my girl, having her Great Grandmother at a game for the very first time. How cool is that?

Saturday we shopped some more, but her knee got too stiff so we cut it short. She relaxed on the couch and watched TV while the husband and I went to our oldest sons two bball games. We had fried shrimp for dinner from the local fish place. It was good.

Grandma can't get up and go like she used to, but otherwise, she's still the same.

Sunday morning, she peeled potatoes while I fried bacon and scrambled eggs. My aunt and her husband where coming back to pick up Grandma and take her with them back to SD.

I am so blessed to have had the time to spend with her. Even when we sat in the same room, not saying much of anything. Just watching her crochet her wash clothes. She was there. And that's all that counts.
