What a weekend!
I had so much fun this weekend even though it was major busy. Rode with mom to Deleware on Friday and stayed with her. It was mother daughter bonding time I hadn't had in awhile which was so nice. Went to Grandma's (now Aunt Patty's) house and painted Grandma's nails for her birthday. Went to dinner with Grandma who somehow choked on her hot tea and scared the living daylights out of me. Then rode with Jim to Dad's where we spent about an hour visiting with him. That gave me a little bit of bonding time with Jim. Not as much as I'd hope for but more than we've had in forever.
Woke up Saturday morning and went to Grandma's birthday bash! 80 years! I just can't believe it! She looked absolutely adorable and I had tears in my eyes when mom gave her speech. Mom adores her so much and it showed. I loved hanging low with Donny (is it Don now I always forget), Holly, John, Jacob, Dan, Matt, Dad, Aunt Judy, Uncle Dave, Mom, Aunt Patty, Jim....and so on. I loved seeing everyone!
Went home Saturday with more mom time then hit the road to go home in my own car only to realize that Dad's pictures were probably packed up with Grandma's things. I'm still hoping those show up.
All in all it was a tremendous weekand. And I couldn't believe the things Grandma remembered. She remembered Dad's birthday was not far from hers which was amazing to me. But, when Aunt Judy asked her if anyone from the Telephone company came, Grandma wanted to look in the kitchen and in the other dining areas for them. She was upset they weren't there. Turns out it was actually the Nursing home people she was looking for that didn't show up. I'm sure she gave them a mouthful about that when she went back "home." She's so adorable.
Happy Birthday Grandma! I hope you enjoyed it!

She kept mentioning the telephone people, and I knew she meant the nursing home staff, because she sometimes gets mixed up and thinks that they are her co-workers.
I really enjoyed Mom on tha mic, too. Good times.

Yeah, when Aunt Judy asked her about the telephone people I thought maybe she was going senile. My thoughts were, "Why would you think anyone from the telephone company would be here..now you've done it!" hahahaha
Mom gave me tears in my eyes. I felt bad she was the only one who got up but did you notice grandma could hear her fine? She laughed and nodded a few times. I was a bit sad Uncle John wasn't there but I'm so glad Holly and John came. They were good times!
