Back in Her Home Chair

Last night, I went by the nursing home and found that Grandma was out! So I drove to Grandpa's, saw the light on, and thought "Ahhh..." 

Here's what I saw as I walked in!

It was so good to see her in her chair again! Something's right with the world.

She read magazines, tried to sort a pile (against Grandpa's advice), and tried to follow Grandpa's and my conversation while I was there (oh, her earwax...). We talked about economic doomsday and their relationship with the Monsons. Grandpa went to high school with Frances and Grandma took the bus with Frances' future husband. Grandma said something like, "I didn't think he was very good...as a boyfriend." I laughed and said Grandma was waiting to find Grandpa. Grandpa also remarked that at his 50th high school reunion, the Monsons came and were of course the stars of the stars. Imagine having them at your high school reunion! I brought some Ghirardelli's dark mint chocolate which I'd just found on sale and shared it, which she enjoyed.

After 10, it was time to take Grandma home. I gave her the rest of the chocolate for later. It's in between the seats. I love her expression in this picture!
