Grandma's House

In April, my sister Cindy and I went to visit our grandmother, who is 93. She lives in Grandview, Washington, a farming town in the eastern part of the state.

My dad had been out to see her a few weeks before us, and the only car available at the rental agency was a big SUV. I had requested a compact car for our visit. Well, when we got in and tried to drive it, it wouldn't get out of park. So they had to give us another car--a Nissan Frontier truck. Grandma's getting a lot of practice at getting in and out of big cars.

As always we visited the farm that my grandparents owned for 30 years. The people who live there now are like family and a visit to Grandview wouldn't be the same without seeing them. By a happy coincidence, Jennifer was in town from St. Louis with her new baby, so we got to see them as well.
