The other day, it occurred to me that I only have one living grandparent, and with this revelation came an urgency to maximize my time with her!  It’s not that I think she’s going anywhere any time soon; it’s just that I want to make sure that I am available for the memories that I will be able to look back on later in life.  All this to say, since Grandma was recently in town for a few weeks, I made it a point to clear some time on my schedule to go and hang out with her.  Well, besides watching television and fielding questions about future plans and prospects, one of our activities was taking a walk down the street and then sitting down for a “breather” when it was all done.  Now y’all, my Grandma can be really candid sometimes, and she surely had me cracking up more than a little bit… I’m hope that one day – many, many, many years down the road – I too can get on the road and just spend time with my family and enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like a nice, easy and breezy walk down the street.

I have included pictures from our walk below, but first, I wanted to include a throw back picture from one of our country walks to the mailbox back in Texas.  Grandma still reminds me of these “loooong” walks that we had two and half years ago.  I truly love my Grandma and thank God for her presence in my life, for she points me back to Him and never, ever, ever, ever (Outkast throwback) stops believing in and supporting me!
