Gran-Gran

I'm so glad that Debbie took Grandmaw to her doctor's appointment! Even though Grandmaw's blood is still thick, I'm glad the doctor will be able to regulate that with meds. Seems like most times that I visit, Debbie is there. She has a bright smile that warms a room and I'm glad my sweet Grandmother has a friend like Debbie! :) Debbie took her to Giovanni's and that seems like one of Grandmaw's favorite places. I remember taking her there a few months back along with her friend, Korey, and we had a great time.


Grandmaw's weight loss is wonderful -- her body just glows. Her incision also looks great -- I'm amazed at how strong her body is in healing so quickly. Praise be to God!!!

When I called to check in on Grandmaw last week and asked if she needed anything I could sneak in to her, I was surprised that she asked for Brady's tuna salad. He made a batch just that afternoon and the timing couldn't have been better!! She likes all the fresh veggies he puts in the tuna salad. She asked if I helped with it, and I sheepishly told her that I held Lily up to watch him stir it... I don't think that counts... she got a chuckle about that! :)

Lily enjoys spending time with her Gran-Gran. When Gran-Gran asked Lily is she would like some grapes from the basket Gran-Gran's cousins delivered earlier that day, I don't think Lily's smile could have gotten any bigger! ;) We enjoy spending time with Gran-Gran and we've been waiting for Gran-Gran to feel up to a trip to the park for the longest!! She was too tired to go Friday as we planned, but we've rescheduled and look forward to that outing next week.

ON THE QT (just kidding, I hope Grandmaw does read this!): Lily is helping me with a craft project for her Gran-Gran that ran out of supplies and we've been waiting since May 11th for the supplies to come in the mail so that we can finally finish it up!!! The supplies finally made it yesterday, so we hope to deliver the product of our efforts soon. (It was supposed to have been finished before Grandmaw got out of the hospital but was derailed when the supplies ran out -- oh, well!)

MEMORY: I remember last summer when we went with Grandmaw and Grandpaw to church most Wednesday nights. Here is a picture of Gran-Gran and Lily from one of those nights after Grandpaw's series teaching of the Revelation:

You are right Debbie has been such a blessing, she really loves mom so much. Mom feels like she is one of the family and now that I have been around her so much, I feel the same. Debbie knows how eeeeeked out I am about feet and she came and scrubbed moms for her. Debbie has been here a lot, and when have meals she is so helpful and always does things to help. I should get her a card...hmm yep, I sure think I will!

I know mom will love what you and miss Lily are making, I can't wait to see it either since you claim to be so uncrafty! I knew you had it in you all along.

I can't post on your blog but I do love you so much and Lily is so precious. Her little shy smile is so heart warming and I love to hear her laugh. You weren't quite as pleasingly plump :) but she really looks a lot like you at that age. But, really she has her own little look too. I am so glad to have the three of you in my family.

See you soon....still waiting on our lunch date! :)

Love you,
Hope
