Grandma-Grandma


Last month, Grandma-Grandma came to visit.



She's my husband's father's mother. And in true Allison tradition, everyone calls her "Grandma-Grandma," because isn't that what everyone calls their great-grandmother?


The children with Grandma-Grandma, and also Grandma

Everyone here does.




She's a spunky, cute little thing. She has this infectious love of history and family connections and can make you laugh in spite of yourself when she says the most unexpected things.

She's also an incurable flirt. When Grandma (Marlys) and I went with Grandma-Grandma to the Depot Grille, she flirted nonstop with our in-his-20's waiter, telling him she was going to pack him up in her carry-on and take him back to Oregon. Marlys and I played with our food and smiled apologetically.



The waiter brought Grandma-Grandma a complimentary huge dessert and three forks and told her, "I like you. I really like you!"

But of course! 

I don't know anybody who doesn't.




We all love you, Grandma-Grandma. Come back soon, and bring your stories.




And happiest of birthdays to you! We're so glad you were born.
