I dedicated my day to my Grandma today.

She's your typical church-goin, flower-plantin, loves-all-things-sweet Grandma. But she has an impossible time getting around now. Just getting her out to Wal-Mart is exhausting.. and she's pretty tired too by the end of the trip... Ha. Ha. Ohhh.

Anyway, today I had promised to take her grocery shopping and help her plant all of her flowers around her house. But in true Grandma form, she can't just take any of the flowers within a reasonable distance. She has to go for the ones on the far edge of the flower display -- off of the sidewalk and down through the grass/dirt hill.

Let's do the math.

Grandma + bad balance + wobbly cane + dirty/rocky hill = BAD

Me: Grandma. I swear. If you fall, this isn't my fault.
Grandma: (Wobbling ahead of me) Oh I won't fall.
Me: YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT!!!
Grandma: Well I won't this time. (Wobble. Wobble.)

This picture was me chasing after her. I swear, for someone who has such a hard time moving, I kept losing her.

Another random Grandma highlight/frustration --

Grandma: (while driving her home) Well. I heard you want to be a boozin' bride.
Me: I wish you'd stop talking to Mom.
