Gramma comes for a Visit!






My mom came for a visit this week! We were all so excited when my dad called and said he booked tickets and mom was coming in a few days! It was a last minute trip so we did not have much time to get all excited- we were just really excited! Seven days with Gramma Ruth- so fun! It has gone way too fast and tomorrow she has to get on the plane- crummy I say!

Gramma arrived to full spring glory here in Louisville and being the gardener that she is.... she loved all the trees and blossoms everywhere. If I only took her on drives to see gardens and houses she would be one happy Gramma! Her favourite was the Azaleas and Dogwood trees.

We took her to the Zoo, Science Centre and Schmiff's candy shop with the kids.  When the kids were in school we spend one whole day shopping and looking at all the little knick knacks we wanted!  We even could look at scrap-booking paper or fabric and not be in a rush!    

Gramma helped both girls sew a skirt each and Megan finish her quilt she started at Christmas.  Luke managed to beat Gramma at Ping Pong (often) and impress her with his Lego creations!

Tears will happen when she gets on the plane and the house will be a little too quiet!  We'll have to look forward to our time when we fly home in June and get back into our busy routine until then!
