99%
of my grandchildren have been raised
in
other states than I live in. Had the
privilege
to
have one raised in the same town..
So
to get to spend some one on one time with one
of
my grandchildren is always great. And never taken
for
granted.
I
have had water fights with two of my grandson's
over
the years. Falling down with laughter.
I
have had some serious conversations with my
adult
grandchildren. Every time, these
precious
moments,
mean a great deal to me.
So
this past weekend was no exception. We, as
a
family went to see the deer in Hope. With the
King,
they went to see the bears. But then
the
parents
went to my daughter's house, while
we
had the pleasure of our granddaughter.
When
grandchildren are on the edge of adulthood,
senior
in high school.. you know your time is starting
to
wan. As it is their time to test their winds and fly.
So
time is precious.
Our
time with our granddaughter was spent at
a
sushi restaurant, as the King and this grand
child..
LOVE SUSHI.. not just like it .. LOVE IT.
We
found a restaurant that had both sushi
and
other
food. As much as they love sushi, I
don't.. So we had a wonderful dinner
together,
as the generation discussion blended
over
the love of the food, with granddaughter
and
grandfather. .
We
came home and being the King had been
up
early to go hunting, he headed to bed. and
my
granddaughter and I headed to the movies.
I
had asked her which one of the movies we
saw
in the paper would she like to go see.
After
hearing the list, she named ANNABELLA.
I
googled this movie, as she said it was a scary
movie..
I don't usually do scary movies. What
I
saw on the internet... was a female CHUCKY.
OH,
BOY.. this is going to be something
else..
But
I was game. After all I don't get to
spend
time
with her by myself. We live 6 hours apart.
We
got at the theater, sat down front, as that
is
where she wanted to sit. I think I would have
picked
by the door, easier to run. lol.. After
we
got settled in, about 6 teenage boys
came
in and sat about 3 rows down from us.
After
carrying on a bit.. loud and lot of talking.
We
looked at each other, and almost said the
same
thing. Teenage boys.. can be weird.
She
added Idaho teenage boys.. told me
that
in Washington they were a little more
quiet. Just before the lights go down, about
10
more teens joined the boys.. Both boys
and
girls.
We
settled in to the movie.. knowing full well
when
we saw the ugly doll, things were not
going
to go well. Thru the movie there were
times
it was suspenseful, and others were
thing
just jump out of the side of the screen
and
made you jump. Some times I closed
my
eyes.. and some times I looked thru
my
fingers.. Monster can't get past fingers.
lol...
The teens in front of us were reacting
with
yells, groans, jumps in the appropriate
times. One girl on the isle across from us
startled
all of us with her scream. But the
one
that was the best.. during a really scary
part...
everyone had a reaction.. and just
before
the protective fingers when up to
protect
me from the scene, I saw one of
the
teenage boy up in front, jump and
scream
like a girl.. of which my grand
daughter
and I looked at each other and
started
to laugh.. taking the scary part away.
This
young man had been the macho guy
when
they arrived.. so it was a riot to see
his
reaction. My granddaughter and I
talked
about it, laughing as we left the
theater.
We
went to Wal-mart as my microwave
decide
to die that day. She picked out
a
white one for me, to go with my other
appliances...
I almost got a black one, but
she
made sense.
When
we got home and she installed the
microwave...
we had some nice conversations.
A
end to wonderful day.... so THANK YOU ...
Miss.
BMW... not the car, but her initials.
We
so enjoyed our time with you.. So thank
you
for coming and hanging out with the old
folks.
