Recipe Queen

Grandma came to dinner tonight and was in good form. Grandpa, David, Robyn, and Kevin were there with Elizabeth and I too. She interjected comments - verbally and physically - with great comedic timing. When Elizabeth told her that the roast recipe used tonight was from Grandma, she beat on her chest with her fist - like, "I am Grandma the recipe queen, hear me roar!" The recipe uses potatoes and apples, and Grandma said she got it from her grandma (although David commented that Grandma added her own twist to it).

The rest of her jokes currently slip my mind. As usual Grandma was considerate of her food and asked to take home what she couldn't finish. She left in good time before she got too tired. It was a good night.

Last night, Elizabeth visited and apparently Grandma was really, really relaxed and peaceful - not "good company," but in good humor. She was wearing her pink pajamas and in bed, and was very contented.

Not Completely On Hiatus

Hello! Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I've been really busy with work. I've taken pictures but haven't posted them, and since I need to get to bed soon I won't post them now. Hopefully I'll post them in the next month (it's still busy), and from now on when I visit her I'll try to bring my laptop and write the blog posts as I sit with her.

Grandma came to dinner tonight and commanded two water cups at the table, so she'd never run out. :) She cleaned her plate and enjoyed root beer cake for dessert. David, who is visiting (and spending a lot of time with her, I'm sure), took her back to the center before she took a dive due to lack of meds. She was quiet but soft-spoken. When we talked about Idaho she helped tell a visitor the towns she grew up in ("Malad"), and after she accidentally dropped a piece of chicken on the ground she made me wash it off and give it back.
