i've decided to start a section of "grandparents say the darndest things" because my grandparents have been known to have some of the funniest jokes and best tid bits of wisdom. they haven't even gotten back to ohio yet but their return has been known... for one reason in particular. my parents are going to visit my brother in san diego tomorrow which also happens to be the same day my grandparents will make their grand entrance into ohio and this brought one tough reality for my grandpa: he might not get his annual welcome home basket from my mom. every year my mom makes up a basket of goodies with everything from the staples of bread, milk and eggs to chocolates and beer (for grandpa), circus peanuts (for grandma), and any other item to help stock their kitchen when they return after being gone for 6 months. this year my grandpa was worried. so worried he managed to mention the fact that he might not get his welcome home basket from my mom this year to everyone he talked to. lucky for him, my mom would never let him down :)
my crafty grandma made up this little piggy stool topper. so cute! they raised pigs for many years and then went to raising only produce.
when i was a little girl my grandma gave me a start from her bleeding heart plant because i thought it was just the neatest plant. she showed me how to take a flower off and bend it down so it looks like the flower is a ballerina. ever since i have always seen bleeding hearts as upside down ballerinas waiting for their time for someone to pluck them off and let them dance their hearts out.
i told my parents to act like they liked each other and this is what i get :)
