Just got back from Baltimore and visiting my grandmother. It was a good visit (they all are, really) although we were pretty busy the whole time we were there, and didn’t get home to 7, so I’m pretty tired.

We visited with cousin Pat, and I got to hear from here how things are, and how the treatment of her cancer is progressing. Although her cancer was at stage 4, she is still optimistic, which is a good thing.

We also did a lot of stuff for my grandmother, including sneakily getting her some more plants. I picked out four of the winter hardy pansies to go in an empty pot on her porch, dad picked out a red mum we planted under her mailbox, and we picked up to crocuses, daffodils, and dutch irises to plant about her yard. She should be surprised come spring, although I am a bit worried about the bulbs–there were several bulbs that were obviously dead, and a couple that didn’t look in too good shape. I definitely do NOT recommend Home Depot as a place for bulbs, although the workers there were wonderful–extremely helpful as we were attempting to gather the oddements that we needed for the various repair jobs.

So Home Depot was good for the helpful and nice employees, but I’m less than impressed with the bulbs we bought.

But it was wonderful just to spend time visiting–we spent a lot of time just joking and laughing, so although I’m tired, I still feel great.

I love visits with my grandmother.
