Last few quotes from 2010

• "Your visit this week has really been a joy for me. My spirits have been perked up, and I feel so much better having you around..." -Grandma, while speeding off to the grocery store this morning. I nearly melted.
  
• "You could enter a beauty contest, Lissie." -adorable Grandpa. He was downloading photos of Grandma and me from his digital camera.
  
• "Are we havin' fun yet?" -Grandma. She asks this every few hours - whether we're at the mall, exploring a park, in the kitchen - you name it. Grandma likes to have fun 24/7.
  
• "I'm beginning to look wrinkly..." -Grandma, as she looked at photos from our walk in the woods.
  
• "When you get old like us, you are entitled to day-long fun." -Grandpa.
• "This is beginning to deteriorate into work..." -Grandma. We hit a muddy spot in our walk in the woods and she had to find a walking stick and edge down a hill with precision and balance. Grandma became quite anxious - the ground is muddy from melting snow and on more than one occasion she almost slipped - but I held her delicate hand and we endured the walk together.
  
• We serve only lekker stuff around here..." -Grandma, referring to the meals she cooks for Grandpa. Lekker means "delicious" or "tasty" in Dutch.
  
• "What do you call those ropes that hang and you can sit on them...?" -Grandpa, trying to find the English expression for a playground swing. Grandpa said he used to enjoy playing on these as a kid.
  
• "Come and getttt ittttt!!!!" -Grandma -- as she calls for dinner! I'd better run off, but I'll share more soon.

bisous.
