Cooking, Cleaning, and Dancing

I was able to spend a few days at my grandparents house last week. I picked that weekend because it was the weekend of Aleasha's senior dance recital, but other than that we had no plans for my time there. I like it that way. I like get to just be with them. Most of my days went like this: wake up, cook breakfast, clean up breakfast, shower, fix lunch, eat lunch, clean up lunch, nap, cook supper, eat supper, clean up supper, bed time.

Let me clarify that I did not actually do any cooking but I tried to help as much as I could. Mamaw is an amazing cook as I've mentioned before and will mention again but it's worth mentioning over and over again!

On Friday we did all go into town for Mamaw's hair appointment and I decided to tag along with Papaw as he made his rounds around town after dropping Mamaw off. We first went to the McDondald's where he went in and got some coffee and got me a coke. Next, he took me on a tour of the east part of town and showed me houses where different people in the town lived. Finally we went to the bank where my aunt works, in his words "just to see who was there". I met a man that went through high school with Papaw. I was picturing the two of them years ago and can only imagine how different things were then.

Friday night was the dance recital and we had to get there early for good seats. It was worth it though because we were able to see her really well. I was very impressed and proud of how well she did! It was all any of us could do to not let the tears fall especially when we looked over at Mamaw who had tears streaming down her face. She watched her baby daughter and now her baby granddaughter dance their last dance on that stage. I can't say that I blame her.
