Intergenerational Visit to Grandma


I am a little behind on my blogging. Weekend before last, Tommy and I went to visit Grandma with Jill and Hattie. Jenny had Lucy and Kate with her; Eric was working; Stephen was weatherizing the boat; Lanie was at a friend's house. I love the way my kids hand their kids off to each other. Last weekend, Lanie and Kate stayed with Julie and Maddy while Tom and I went to the Wildcat game!

Grandma had been a little confused during the week before this visit; we think she was dehydrated, By Saturday afternoon, though, she was as sharp as ever! She knew that was Jill coming in the door with Jenny's baby!



I think this is a prety cute picture of four generations all sitting on one bed!




Miss Hattie charmed the entire nursing home; I guess I should say "Baby Hattie" because Grandma is "Miss Hattie" to most of the staff. As we were leaving, Grandma escorted us to the door, "walking" her wheelchair. She wanted everyone to know that was "her" baby. One resident asked, "Is that your baby?" and, when Grandma answered in the affirmative, the lady said, Well, now I know why you are hanging on!"



I think Grandma was pretty proud of this visitor too!
