Cheese & Rice!

Today I spent the afternoon with my 90-something year old grandma. Geeze, that lady is a riot. She is still really cheesed off about the Suns big loss yesterday. Haha, I should have known better than to come over so soon after that game. We went out to lunch at Cocoas, and then I took her to the grocery store. All through the chip aisle I got to listen to a rant about what a cheapskate the new owner is and how he traded some of the best guys and this whole season is his fault. Haha! Anyway, she went on to tell me about how she played a little basketball when she was younger but didn’t like it because they would only let the girls play half-court.

Grandma’s are full of cool stories. It was awesome hearing about all of her old relatives (mine too I guess) and how they came out to Arizona and California back in the day. I bet it was seriously the Wild West out here. Must’ve been crazy! She’s always been pretty ahead of her time and adventurous… so I guess that’s why she didn’t flinch a bit when I told her about my Guatemala plan. She’s been all over the world... including Central/South America. If I take after either one of my grandma’s when I’m that age… I think I will be one seriously stubborn/smart/independent old lady!

Anyway… I’m thinking 2nd-3rd week of May I’m outta here. We’ll see what the availability is at the School de Espanol and make sure I can get in with a family during those dates. Hopefully I’ll update with something more concrete soon! WhOooOOoo!! This will be a summer to remember!




My Grandma Violet



And here is my dearest little sister. This pic was in the same folder, and I couldn't help but post it because it's so damn funny. Hopefully none of her high school friends read my blog-- otherwise it's all over. Haha.
Yep... definitely something different about the women in my family.
