G-ma & Garage Sales

Grandma Elsie and Garage Sales just go together! They are like baseball and hot dogs. She can't resist a good garage sale or flea market. I told her to come over today and we would hit some sales. We set out about 1pm..not as early as we should have..but hey, it's hard to get anywhere timely when you are still in pj's at noon!

Before we left Kent City..she already had a bag full of goods...she doesn't waste any time! At one sale...she purchased a very large duffel bag...her goal...FILL IT! And that she did..back home by4....she

accomplished her goal!

We had lots of fun together and seeing her laughing with Trent at McDonald's was worth it all. He will have these memories of a great grandma forever. She is so young at heart! Thanx Grandma Elsie for your fun spirit!

She's Here!.....

Grandma Elsie made her grand entrance last Tuesday. She arrived in G-ma style.... 3 hours early. We still are unsure of how that happened!

She told me to pick her up at 2 pm on Tuesday....at about 11am she called and said she was in GR!?!?!? We are pretty sure they chartered a special plane 'to move her' out of the airport!

We have spent a few days together but our most recent day was Monday. We crossed a lot off of her list. We went and visited Steve's G-ma, toured Neil & Bonnie's house, visited Fremont, Haveman Hardware, Goodwill, Arby's, Aftons Blueberry Farm, Aunt Ruth, Talked W/ Aunt Donna at church....I think that was about all we did!


She celebrated her 83rd birthday in June. Doesn't she look great! She goes like crazy too! I have a hard time keeping track of her and Trent! I think I will see her on Saturday...check back to see where we are going!.....
