It is time to stop Grieving the loss of my beautiful SUV. (Can you hear sarcasm on a blog post?) Really thrilled that instead of driving a 7 seater monster I am currently the proud owner of a wee little sports car.
I have decided to embrace my sports car. Love my little mustang. Make lemonade my friends.
I also decided it was time for a visit with Grandma. Put those two together and you get a rather interesting Granny’s Day Out.
Grandma or GG (Great Grandma) as my girls call her, is in her 91st year.
I called her up this morning and asked her if she was feeling spontaneous.
She said she was up for anything!
I picked her up an hour later.
In this:
We cruised the city.
Horns honked at us.
Granny smiled.
Three twenty somethings pointed and grinned. Stared a little too long at us at the stop light.
“She is hot isn’t she?” I queried.
“Oh you are both so so hot” The young man yelled back.
Granny let go the loudest laugh I have heard in years. Apparently no one has called her hot for 50 years!
We circled the park.
Stopped for sustenance.
Drove past the landmarks.
Went out into the country.
Time to go home.
Granny had a long overdue birthday gift for me.
A lovely china cup and saucer that had been her grandmothers. AND…
a pair of jeans she picked out just for me.
They were a size 16.
I’m a size 8.
I did tell her I did not think they were going to fit.
She insisted I prove it.
Those “how to cook light” and “diet” books she gave me at Christmas must have worked!
At least I gave her a second giggle.
Hope when I’m 90 my Granddaughter comes and takes me out for a spin in the sunshine. I also hope that granddaughter has half as much fun as I did today.
Well that was worthwhile to have that sportscar after all! What a great grandma!
Great post, totally awesome to get called hot. Love the car.

that’s awesome! Nice car too, I’m stuck driving a giant Mini van, but I pretend it’s my old Subaru that I miss dearly! Glad you guys had a great day!
Thanks for the comment! I actually found your blog over at Krizzy Designs as well and have had it in my Reader for a little while! I love reading your posts, they are so cute and entertaining! I’m jealous of your day with your Granny! Sounds like y’all had fun! 🙂
I understand that you had to go out and buy a hot little sportscars in order to overcome your jealousy over my 13-year-old Saturn with the dent in the roof that just celebrated 200K. It’s okay… I’m used to it.
Seriously, I LOVE THIS POST! Old people are the best, eh? (You know I love Canadians.) I’m a size 8, too–if you lived in Vegas, we could swap clothes.
Great story. My kids called my grandma “GG” too. 🙂 What a great day!
OMG that is awesome…..God love her…..I hope when I am that age I am doing that too……Relax, Live A Little!!!!! I love your car by the way…….totally jealous!!!!!!!
You are a wonderful Granddaughter!!! (just like ME) What a fun day…love the size 16 jeans. She tried, right?
