Granny Has Arrived!

Well, Mom arrived safely last night after some excitement of trying to find her in the train station. Ayla was starving, she kept asking if we could go have a snack while we waited for Mom to get off the train. Then we get home and I am just sitting down in the backyard with Ralph and Mom and Ayla, sipping my Gin and Peach Juice cocktail and Ayla says, "Can I help you with dinner?"
So Ayla made a lovely grilled chicken Caesar salad, which we all enjoyed, and then we went off to the dollar store and then to the book store, where her granny got her a new Sheldon book of poems, as always quite funny. She then sat in a comfy chair in Second Cup and read her book and had a gingerbread cookie and drank her tea all so very grown up. I think Mom is enjoying having some time with her, and Ayla is enjoying the change in company, too. She wanted her Granny to come and listen to her bedtime story with her.
The cats are overall unimpressed with yet another person in the house, though Sally loves Mom and is constantly trying to get her to pet her. It's really quite funny. Ralph did not enjoy sleeping on the hard futon last night, though my back has not felt better in years! Only a few more days, Ralph!
