My Grandma says that flirting is a good idea.

This blog entry is dedicated to Grandparent appreciation.
Last nignt I went over to my Grandparents house. My sister and I have made that a monday night tradition this semester and it is sweet. We play cards with them, watch curling perhaps (last night), eat yummy food, (grandpa makes us porridge if we eat breakfast there), drink tea and get helpful advice like mentioned at the start of this blog. Tuesday morning, (we stay over night), we go out for breakfast at South Fork, the small diner that my grandparents go to every tuesday morning for two pieces of rye toast, an egg, (the usual for my grandma- she never has to order and just I tell the waitress I want "Grandma's usual"), and coffee, (of course) which we also never have to order and the waitress knows that I like cream so she doesn't even ask if I want some she just puts the two containers of cream beside my cup. My grandparents know everyone in the diner and visit across the room sometimes, (jokes and news exchanged). It is good.
Last night I "interviewed" grandpa and grandma and I did research for a paper I am doing on prairie women with a focus is on my great-great grandma Ada who was an amazing woman, (like many I know who have impacted my life.) It was good. I love these people who have had such a big part in shaping who I am today.
I am so proud of my grandparents, (both sets), and am very thankful for them.
