I drove to Prineville this weekend to help take care of my grandma, and give my sweet aunt Alice a well deserved rest.

Grandma (or GG - what her great grandchildren called her) gave me permission to document our time together. (Her and I both have latent tendencies towards being Broadway stars...)

During our weekend of misbehaving, we listened to the radio, painted our nails, had dinner every night at the family farm, and to top it off, I found over 50 peonies for free at a local thrift store to decorate the place!

Bashful is not a word that comes to mind when I think of my Grandma. She is vibrant, opinionated, fun, and has a laugh that can infect an entire room.

You are a pioneer to many, and my #1 soulmate.  I will miss you here on earth. — You are a pioneer to many, and my #1 soulmate. I will miss you here on earth.
