Welcome!

     Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.  My name is Anna and I absolutely adore my grandmother.  So much, that I have decided to blog about my relationship with her.  I recently visited her and my grandfather this past Sunday for lunch and realized how much I really take after my grandmother.  It is really amazing how many words, sayings and actions I have obtained from her. 
     My grandparents used to watch me every summer as a child and I always spent the night at their house every Saturday night from the age of 5 to about the age of 17.  Every Saturday night my Grandmother would make her usual spaghetti dinner with homemade sauce.  My grandmother likes to get creative with her cooking sometimes, so the spaghetti sauce usually would change from time to time.  After dinner we would always watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.  Once those shows were over then it was time for the English comedy shows.  There was always Keeping up with Appearances, As Time Goes By, Faulty Towers, The Manor Born and my favorite, Are You Being Served.  I must have seen every episode at least 10 times. 
     Once Sunday morning came around, my grandmother would make me bacon and eggs or sometimes pancakes.  We would both get ready for church after breakfast and then head down the street to Sunday school.  After church let out, we would drive back home and eat a lunch that my grandpa had prepared while we were at church.  Usually lunch was always stew, baked chicken, or sometimes chicken pot pie, if my grandma had enough time to put the dish together before church. 
     After lunch, my grandparents would usually relax, while I put a puzzle together or played a board game.  Once the end of the afternoon rolled around, my parents would come pick me up and I waited until the next weekend to head off to grandma's house again.
 
     Thanks for reading a little introduction about my grandmother and I.

  1. I can't think of a lovelier woman for you to take after. Andrew and I used to watch those same English comedies. I still love watching Hyacinth! We've become quite the blogging family, haven't we?
