We went to dinner at Jack's grandmother's home yesterday. As we were coming in, we all gave Grandma a hug. Rebecca was very excited to see Great-Grandma, so she knocked Grandma over with her hug. Literally. We had to pick her up off the floor. Rebecca gets exuberant at times and will jump into your arms for a hug. Well, Grandma, at 80 years and 8 days, wasn't expecting this and tumbled right to the ground with Rebecca underneath her. Jack and I felt horrible about it. We were grateful we didn't have to whisk Grandma off to the emergency room!
After all that excitement, things quieted down for a nice visit. We looked at pictures of Grandma and Tommie's recent trip to San Francisco to visit Tommie's family as well as Jack's Uncle Bob's kids. We found time to discuss politics, World War II ration stamps, and baseball. Grandma fixed us a nice dinner, including 5 spice chicken (Jack's favorite thing she makes!). The kids really liked the red punch Grandma had.
The kids also enjoyed playing with all the noisy toys Grandma and Tommie have. They especially liked the Halloween Basset Hound. Once Miriam started dancing all over the living room and Joseph started playing with the breakables, we decided it was time to go home.
All in all, a nice visit. Definitely memorable!
