thelma and louise?

grandma and i are having tons of fun. we're off in the wilds of central PA, across the street from bucknell university (a beautiful campus) at a best western tonight. we look just like thelma and louise, cruising the streets in our silver malibumax -- ha!

(all of the people we're visiting with think I must be "real well off" to be driving such a fancy car. good thing I didn't bring either of our cars.)

we are enjoying each other's company. grandma is telling plenty of stories and remembering all sorts of stuff about her childhood, her family and her friends.

i'm annoying the crap out of her by photographing her with landmarks and people. of course i'm going to make her a little photo album when i get home!

grandma seems much, much happier today. i think she's enjoyed chatting with her friends and family, catching up and feeling like she's a lot younger than 90.

however, poor Grandma is absolutely exhausted -- we've been on the go since 8:30 or so starting with church (no, the roof is still intact), sunday dinner at the country cupboard (tons of bluehairs chowing down on turkey dinners), visiting friends in "personal care homes" and then over to my great aunt's house for dinner. i'm enjoying the fine WiFi setup at the hotel, but out of courtesy, i'm going to shut down so she can go to sleep.

oops, too late, i can already hear her snoring.

tomorrow we're making more visits here, then heading back to her house, but stopping on the way to visit another great aunt. tuesday is grandma's rest day.
