Today part of the family came over. We grilled Bratwurst and had loads of other food thanks to all who came! My big coup was getting help tricking out Myspace. Carl and Natalie were life savers regarding this. Anything is possible with friends.
Mom came, too with her best friend. She was in a good mood and if she was stressed or unusually confused one couldn't tell. It is only three weeks before my sister and her partner move in and not a moment too soon.
Oh, here is a funny story about Mom. Several weeks ago Marci, my daughter and I went to her house on a Friday night as usual. We had to get something for dinner and didn't want to spend a fortune and yet had to cater to Marci being vegetarian. We decided on what Marci and I call a Jesus dinner- crusty bread- like Italian or French, strawberries and cheese- somewhat similar to what Jesus ate-bread anyway, fruit and cheese. Anyway, it did seem to confuse Mom to have this strange fare being served as dinner. She couldn't make heads or tails out of it. We told her it was similar to what Jesus ate and she said...
here it comes....wait for it...
"Well, I guess Jesus and I just don't see eye to eye."
Isn't that the best? But today Mom had brats, cherry M and M's, brownies, chips, dip, salsa, olives, carrots and baby tomatoes and was in heaven, so to speak. I did mention that she hadn't been to visit the dead as she used to do on Memorial Day weekend and she said it doesn't bother her one bit because she can talk to the dead anytime she wants. And now if she could only remember what they said!

That is the funniest story ever about grandma. If she thinks something you say is strang or quirky, she will tell you. She doesn't care who you are. I think it's the Irish in her.
