My grandmother lives in Tigard, about 20 miles north of Woodburn. Today I spent the day with her. I picked her up at about noon and we went to Costco. She doesn’t have a Costco card, so she likes to go when I am around. We then stopped at a few garage sales. We did not find many–I guess it is a little early in the season, plus it was raining off and on all day long. I did find a decent cork board for 50 cents, and a cook book for a quarter. After awhile, we went to Applebees for dinner. She had gotten a gift card from someone and wanted to use it up. She had baby back ribs, and I had their riblets. It was OK, and not too busy because we went very early–like around 4pm. We visited for a little while more, then I took her home. I haven’t spent a day alone with my grandma for a very long time–usually my Mom is with us, too, but she is still in Arizona for another month or so. We had a very nice day, and we are planning to spend a weekend at her beach house in a couple of weeks.

When I got home, Kevin said the cat had been meowing to go out for a long time, so I took him out, but he seemed frightened, so we didn’t stay out very long.
