Christmas at Autumn Leaves 2009

Just in case you have ever wondered what it is like at an assisted living/old folks home Christmas party. Let me shine a light on a fun night we had with my 93 year old grand mother.


(can't turn the silly thing)


My family and I went to the annual Christmas Party at my grand mother's nursing home. We go there, found my grand mother(sitting with "her Friends"). We got in line and waited for our cold shrimp and cubed cheese. Then went to sit down and I went to ask my grand mother to come and sit with us at our table. She sat with us for about 5 minutes and started to get up, I asked her, "grandma, where are you going?" "To sit with my friends!" She replied. I said, "we came to see you." Off she went, back to sit with her friends. She was not too concerned about us! Too funny! My sweet grand mother may not know much these days, but I thank God for her wit!
I guess you gotta dance with the one who brought you!!
