Grandma and Me

I really look forward to Saturdays, I never use too.  Saturdays were always a day to do major house work, laundry and running errands which usually included grocery shopping, going to the farm market etc.  Now Saturdays are spent a little differently, I go and spend about an hour each Saturday with my Grandma.  A grandma I am getting to know through each of my visits with her.   As mentioned in previous blogs, this is a grandma that was absent from my life for many reasons,  reasons that I had no control over.  But God has blessed me with this privilege.  This Saturday was a little different then the one before.


I took Mikaela and Tamara with me so they could meet their great grandma.  We even stopped and picked up peanuts so we could take grandma out to feed the squirrels.  When we arrived my grandma was not feeling too well as she had come down with a bit of a cold, so we didn't take her outside to feed the squirrels we just stayed inside and had a visit.  We had a shorter visit due to her not feeling well.  So before we left I took both Mikaela and Tamara out to the courtyard so they could feed the squirrels, but needless to say, there were no squirrels to be found.  I guess we'll wait and see what the weather is like next week. 


Grandma enjoyed the girls, she said, that Mikaela reminded her of Max (Max is their cousin).  She actually laughed with girls a bit throughout the visit.  And if any of you know Tamara this will not be a surprise to you.  I refer to Alice as Alice and not grandma.  I guess I am still getting use to the relationship.  Anyways, every time I say Alice, Tamara says, "that is your grandma, you are to call her grandma, not Alice".  Then Tamara goes on saying, "you don't see me calling my grandma by her first name, do you, and neither should you",  Out of the mouths of babes.
