Pre-Mom's Day visit with Grandma

We went to Grandma's today to take her out to lunch for Mother's Day. After lunch, we enjoyed Grandma's pool! It was a lovely day!

Dinner was had at Wendy's in Monrovia, where we could sit outside with the puppeh.

Now, I shall make plans for MY Mother's Day tomorrow... Hmmm... What to do...

Over the River & Through the Woods...

(Over the 60 and thru the 909 is more like it...)

Yesterday, we took our monthly jaunt out to the Inland Empire (why on EARTH do they call it THAT?!?) to visit my mother-in-law. This time, we were visiting in honor of Grandma's 78th birthday, which is on July 3! Happy Birthday, Grandma!

I convinced the boys to make a quick stop at "Disneyland For Rednecks" (the cashier told me that's what it's called) in Rancho Cucamonga. I love this place. That's right, I'm a left-wing, Obama-lovin', anti-gun, fish-hatin' former sociology major, and I LOVE Outdoor World. What can I tell ya. I'm a contradiction wrapped in an oxymoron.

And this here is Grandma's house. She lives in a retirement community, which is good, cuz they keep an eye on her for us. She toodles around the park on her scooter with a bright orange flag on top.

One of our favorite things about visiting Grandma's is that they recently put in a PORTILLO'S! You Chicagoans know what I'm talkin' about! That's good eatin'! My spousal unit gets the Italian Beef, natch.

The second best thing about goin' to Grandma's is... WINCO! WinCo rocks. People drive outta there with tons of CEREAL cuz it's usually about $1.98 a box! And don't get me started on the canned goods -- OY!

That, my friends, sums up a typical visit to Grandma's house! I'm glad I could take you along on our journey this month.
