Visiting Grandma

We didn't have a family party today, but they were realigning the wards in our stake so we only had 2 hours of meetings at church. We got home just after 3:00 and my sweetie pulled together a nice meal. As we were sitting there, I felt so strongly that we should make a quick trip to see my sweet mother-in-law.

By 4:15 we were loading the car and getting ready to leave. The Dog Walker had already made arrangements to spend the afternoon and evening with his girlfriend, so it was just the younger kids. The drive took us about an hour and a half and by about 6:00 we were sending the kids out to play so we could sit around and chat.

We stayed for a couple of hours, doing a bit of service and planning for a longer trip later in the week. It was so good to see her. Life is so precious and short. Families are definitely the most important part.

Is she doing okay, or was this just a hunch? How old is she these days?

She was born in 1938 just like Mom. She hurt her back and is having trouble getting out of her chair. It was nice for the kids to do a little service. I hope my kids want to take care of me when I'm older... maybe next week... ;)

It looks like a perfect Sabbath day. What a lovely way to spend the day wit your Mother in law. Yes, families are first for sure.
Blessings and hugs!
