memorial day #4

They said they were putting on a show and I nodded, "Sounds good."

A few minutes later they ran through the kitchen and mentioned the show again.  I was moving the laundry from the washer to the dryer, "Mmm-hmm."

No, really!  It's a show!  We're ready!

I didn't realize they'd set up chairs and had music and choreography.  It was actually pretty great.

I love you guys, Grandma, aka MOM
