crazy granny
my grandma (the kids great grandma) was able to fly out here a couple weeks ago for my little sister's wedding. we were all thrilled to have her here as we are not sure when/if she will make another trip to utah from arkansas. we were so lucky to have her stay with us a couple days after the wedding. we had such a great visit. when people who don't know crazy granny hear us calling her crazy think we are mean but it is all we have ever known her as - it is a term of endearment. it is not because her mind is gone - it is because she has always been a crazy & fun grandma. i can remember being a little kid & driving in her driveway, she would come out skipping & hopping with her knees up to her chin as she slapped her thighs. she has been a great grandma & we are so thankful for her. she finally retired from the dog track where she worked for 50 years - we sent her a male stripper on her last day of work. if i can figure out how i will upload the video to my blog. it is the most hilarious thing ever. she has not had an easy life but has taught me so many life lessons. we love her so much & so glad she was able to come out to visit.

yea, her hair is something. she told me she colored it herself the day before her trip - i was like, REALLY??? i would have never know - HA!!!
i had a neighbor who was around 86 and she would always tell me how she loved the color of my hair...and then told me she liked dying her hair with coffee grinds. weird! economical, i guess!
Nice seeing you today, Shelby! Thanks!!!
Hope you had a good rest of the show and got to see some sites in NH :)
