The last time she came she brought a Disney Cars themed version of Dominos and taught Jayce to play. And then she proceeded to play with him as often as he asked.
She reads to them. Watches them race up and down the back patio on their scooters. Will listen as they describe each and every pin in their Disney collection.
She’s bathed them–bending over the bathtub to scrub behind their ears.
She wipes the table after lunch and folds the kitchen towels I leave wadded on the counter.
She brings goodies–a portable cooler full of ‘em.
She mails clippings from the kids activity section of her church bulletin.
And forwards me the anti-Obama emails she gets from friends in her church circle {she knows I’ll usually appreciate them just as much as she does}.
She’s a gem. A gift to me. To all of us.
And she’s coming for the weekend–one last time before her and Gramps head back to Boise for the summer.
She called today to work out the details. Just when I thought this Monday was as mundane as any.
A warm ray of sun. A penny, lucky side up. A little bird outside my window.
Suddenly, the week is looking up.

I made an anti-Obama comment on Facebook and thought of you. I know, I know, don’t get too excited… I’m still way on the left.;)
How awesome is that? Have a wonderful time
Gram sounds wonderful and I hope you enjoy the precious moments together!
Enjoy Darc. I’d give just about anything I can think of to have my Grandma VT back for “just” a day so my kids could meet/spend the day with her. xoxo
Wonderful – enjoy!
We have a Gram too, who always makes a special trip to the specialty market in her town to pick up the kids’ favorite “Grammy’s House” snacks. Doesn’t matter whether we’re going there or she’s coming here.
