Okay, so on Friday, I decided I would stay updating this blog, and two others, one for weight loss and for school. This morning, I actually remembered I needed to update this blog. Yay for me!
Not a lot has really happened since Friday but I've decided that I will start telling the story of my 27 month journey through temporary insanity. Otherwise known as: The Time I Lost My Mind and Moved To Oklahoma. Not today though. I'll start that story next week. This week, I wanted to update on what I'm planning to write in future updates. Try saying that three times fast. Okay, not really it was way more of a challenge in my brain to write that sentence than to say it out loud.
Changing the subject now.
July 20th, my sister and her husband came through my mountain town on their way to Vegas. We decided to meet up and have breakfast at Denny's. It was about 6:30 when Music Man and I picked up my grandma and took her with us. The Grumpy Old Man, (aka technically my stepfather, but I've called him Dad for years) and Miss Goofy had gone ahead of us and gotten a table for the seven of us. We were all pretty excited.
Shortly before 7, Sissy (in some adorable shoes, by the way) and her hubby, insert clever nickname here, arrived. We ate and chatted all of us excited to get to see each other as it had been quite a while since Sissy had been able to see Grandma and The Grumpy Old Man. Grandma laughed a lot and was quite happy to see everyone. Sissy giggled with me, Grandma and Miss Goofy. Fun was had by all.
That got us thinking though and we made a decision and vow to start having Grandma over for breakfast on weekends. Just a fun way to have her over so she gets out of the house for a bit and we get to check on her and see how she's doing. She's come over 2 weekends now. The first weekend after Sissy's visit we were busy and didn't have a chance to have her over. Weekend before last, Miss Goofy and I spent all day Saturday cooking and weren't up to making breakfast on Sunday. So twice we've had her over and plan to have her over this weekend too. I'll try to remember to take some pictures.
I love the fact that she's just five or six houses down from me. She takes a walk nearly everyday and at least once a week, she walks up to my house just to check in and say hi. I love that she's close enough to do that. It makes my heart so happy. She is a treasure and one I don't think I properly appreciated until I was 1400 miles away. I missed her greatly and I'm extremely thankful I'm back home where I can spend time with her.
I know there's lots more news but this post is getting a bit long and I frankly, I have schoolwork to do.
More updates next week, including The Time I Lost My Mind and Moved To Oklahoma, part 1.
