Weekend with Grandma Grove




Grandma Grove came to visit on Wednesday via the new airline "Sky Bus". She got a direct flight from Kansas City to Columbus for the bargain price of $10.00. I can't capture everything she helped me with in this blog entry, but I have never worked a guest in our home so hard. I needed help with many home front things and she was so gracious to help and never complained a minute. I had to ask for the union break, because she kept me honest to my list and crossing my goals off. I am going to list my 5 top goals that were completed. They are in no order of importance.

1. Returned my favorite leased Jetta to Midwest Auto Group.
2. Organized my single car garage, so I could use it to park inside at night.

3. Helped to lay down our new rug in the living room

4. Experimented with making Sophia baby food.

5. Assisted with organizing every room of my house including Jerry's closet. Hopefully, this will curb my cleaning OCD for a while.

6. Sorry one more.... She helped me shrink wrap and put away all of Sophia's clothes that no longer fit.

7. Ooops, one more... I got my hair done.

Why is it, that I hate asking for help from friends/neighbors, but I can put my parents to work like nobody's business?????

When I didn't have my mom working, we got the opportunity to do some serious Macy's shopping, had dinner with girlfriend Sharon, a nice walk around the neighborhood with next door neighbor Carene while Pete, Abbi & Gracie watched Sophia, and breakfast with neighbors Jackson and mom Tricia.

Sorry, I don't have any photos of Grandma with Sophia. I will upload them, once GG sends me them. Thanks Grandma Grove for coming to visit.....
All 3 Cats, Boof in the front, Debby in the middle & Bernard on the rug. Even though I still can't touch Debby, she is getting more brave around the home and when the food is just put out. She has lived with us for 4 years. Can you believe 4 years and we still can't touch her. She is a beautiful calico.

Sophia taking a bath by candle light. Our power was off for about 1 hour tonight. Again, I have the BEST neighbors! My neighbor on the left "Gina" stopped by and made sure Sophia and I were okay. Neighbor on the right "Laura" called to make sure we were okay.


Sophia in her 18 Month PJ's. Can you believe that. She weighs almost 23lbs. I can finally see my resemblance in her.
