Grandma is gone!

Grandma left this morning. It was pure HEAVEN for two weeks (minus the pain of the surgery, lol). I couldn't have done it w/out her. I know I'm going to miss her terribly. I know Linda will miss her even more.

We took Linda to see the lights at the beach. She was quite excited about seeing all the different lights. She got distracted toward the end, but we had a very nice night. We had gone to Panera before the lights for dinner. We picked up Miss Mary and she came with us. It was a nice night.

Linda was saying a prayer the other day at lunch. Pat had been saying how her hands were cold, and rubbing them together to warm them up. Linda was so sweet at the prayer, and had asked Heavenly Father to help Grandma's hands feel better. In the same prayer she had asked Heavenly Father to help her obey mommies, daddies, and grandmas, but only sometimes. It was so funny. We tried so hard not to crack up. I obviously don't want to discourage her from praying. It is just so cute.

Her imagination is really blossoming now. She comes up w/all sorts of stuff to say she sees, or to change things into (a napkin will be a sting ray, or a bunny, etc). She is quite the little girl.

The picture of her chasing Copper w/the rake is cute too. Copper will get a small plastic farm animal, or piece of chalk, or whatever else, and he will want us to chase him. I take the broom, and Linda often takes the rake, and we chase him all over. So it looks like she is going to whack him, but she isn't.
