Grandma's Story

As she always does, Grandma spent the weekend taking care of all of us, preparing 3 adult and sometimes 3 separate kid meals a day (plus desserts!), insisting that everyone sit down even while she was tirelessly on her feet, calling ahead to Wallmart for Portrait Studio opening hours, and figuring out where we might find a jigsaw puzzle on Memorial Day.

We also managed to arrange a whole lot of Clio time (I very generously slept in and took naps to stay out of the way), much of which had Barb schooling her in the ways of the farm, from chores like sweeping

and clearing brush,

to feeding the cats (which I won't go into here- that's a part of Clio's Story).

She also found plenty of ways to entertain Clio, from an old favorite, bubbles,

to a new one, playing the Piano. They did some lovely duets of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Baa Baa Black Sheep, and Barb taught Clio all about not banging on the keys.
By the end of the weekend, they even LOOKED like two peas in a pod.
