A visit with Grandma

Grandma is "moving on up" as she now resides in a luxurious suite at the Mayfair House. Well, it may not be luxurious, but it does have a lot more room for Grandma's .....STUFF!! We took Grandma to one of her favorite resturants for lunch: Red Lobster. She ordered shrimp and ate some of mom's crabcake. There were NO leftovers!! We went shopping and Grandma picked out a nice cutain rod and some fancy curtains. She picked the color, the style, everything. We also had her pick out a rod to display the Greatgrandchildren quilt on. Grandma was in heaven with her shopping cart, loading it up with 3 and 4 copies of the same "Enquirer" and "Star" tabloid magazines. When we checked out we had to make sure she wasn't buying any duplicates! She had a great time and we enjoyed bing with her. She sure is a hoot for a woman of 84! We also took Grandma by to see Grandpa's grave and she put some fall flowers down for him. We talked breifly about his service in different branches of the military and then wisked her off before a big storm came. When we returned to Mayfair house, Grandma put us to work. We put fresh sheets on her bed and disposed of at least 75 tissues she had hiding under her pillow. Yuck, Grandma! She said she put there in case she needed one in the middle of the night! We hung her Grandchildren's Quilt in her bedroom where she can see it. We also hung her new curtains. Joylyn and John Joseph put up fall decorations all over her room. We sorted through the tabloids, magazines, and Nora Roberts books. All the time keeping an eye on the Redskins game. Our Grandma Thomas is quit a woman and we enjoyed spending the day with her.
