Thursday night we headed to Mom & Dads...
Friday morning Mom, Madie & I went for lunch, then to visit Grandma. {She is in the Alzheimer's unit and will be 87 years old in August} She & her roommate, Betty, are quite the pair...neither one of them could tell us what they did that morning or what was for lunch....Betty is a pleasant, happy little lady and is very good with Gram...the nurses use Betty to con Gram into doing things they cannot get her to do! *smile*
The following is a transcript of the conversation:
Betty: Does she go to school? (referring to Madie)
Mom: No, she is only two...not for a couple more years. (Betty with a surprised look)
Betty: Does she have a cat or a dog?
Mom: Yes, she has a dog named Buddy.
Me: Small talk with Gram.
Betty: Is she excited about school?
Mom: I'm sure she is, however, she is only two. (again, Betty is surprised by this)
Betty: Well, does she have a cat or a dog?
Mom: Yup, a dog, Buddy, the Yorkie.
Me: More small talk with Gram.
Betty: So, is she ready for school?
Mom: Well, she is only two. She doesn't go to school yet. (again, surprise)
Me: Laughing under my breath. Eye roll only Mom & I share.
Betty: Does she have any pets?
Mom: (ever so patient) Yeeeessss, a dog.
Betty: So, is she in school?
OH MY GOODNESS! Enough already! :)
This went on for about 45 minutes.
As we were leaving...Betty asks, one more time...Does she have a cat or a dog?
By this time even Gram was annoyed....she looks at Betty and says with a disgusted look..."BETTY???"
I love my Grandma so much...I miss her.
Friday afternoon Mark, Betsy & Jacob arrived....I asked Jacob not to tell Brian that he is the new man in my life...Jacob is a sweet~heart...easy going, happy baby with gorgeous baby blues. I love this little guy!
Hello....can you say "REDNECK"........
Friday night the boys took turns shooting at stripped gophers in the yard with the .22 rifle and drinking beer. Oh Lord....that sounds really bad....sad, but true. *smile* At dusk we set off some home style fireworks. Miss Emma was so excited & was having so much fun!
Overheard: "Grandpa, you tell me when to run, okay!"
Betsy, Madie & Abby enjoying the show.

Oh my! I can relate to your conversation with Betty. I have those days every day at work. Try involving 8 of these little ladies in an activity. A couple never understand what we're doing, some are bored with the whole thing and go to sleep and at least one will wander off. I have one who used a glue stick as chap stick. Never a dull moment!:)
