Grandma and Grandpa Flamm

I was very fortunate to have family come visit during the last bit of busy season for Scott.  It helped me make it through.

The first visit was from my Grandma and Grandpa Flamm.  They are incredible.  They drove from Rexburg to Washington D.C. and stopped who knows how many places in between.  These two are animals (in the most respectful way).  I only hope I have as much fire in me as they when I am their age.

It was so nice to have them visit.  For my own personal remembrance I am going to list the highlights and tell about them.  Sorry for the poor flow.

1) The picnic by the Potomac.  I have told many people that airplanes land every 90 seconds at Reagan International Airport.  Thank you grandpa for taking the time to figure that out.  The picnic took me back to the day when I would go as a little girl with them.

2) Playing cards: I can think of nothing better to do with my grandparents.  This time we learned Kings Corner.  It is a great game!  And as always they had to reteach my grandma rummy.  I need to write that one down.

3) Taking them to King Kabob.  My poor grandparents will never want us to pick the restaurant again.  We took them to an Afgani Kabob restaurant.  My grandma's words exactly "I ate it all but I don't want to go back."  Thanks for being sports.

4) My grandpa playing domino Thomas the Train with Kayt.  I have to say this is one thing I admire about both my grandparents, they have always taken the time to sit with us and just play.  Even when it was not what they wanted to do.  Thank you for doing that with Kayt.  She still talks about it.

5) A project!  A visit with my grandparents is not complete without a project.  My grandpa helped me make some food storage shelves for my little closet.  My grandpa is a construction genius.  I just sat there as he measured and figured and cut and measured and figured and we ended up with this wonderful set of shelves that is PERFECT!

6) Continueing my efforts to crochet.  My grandma is the Queen of the old arts, sewing, knitting, crochet, quilting,  everything.  I am the Queen of none.  Crochet is the one art I thought I could maybe learn and be okay at.  I am still working on baby booty number 2 to give to my sister.  Thank you for your patience grandma.

After they left I said to Scott, you know I understand why I am the way I am.  So many of my little quirks, watching movies while doing a craft project, always scheming some project to work on, caring about how often a plane lands, they are inherited, not my fault.  I blame it all on my grandma and grandpa and I say with the most sincerity possible, THANK YOU!!!
