Ok, since I'm about to go to the Cape and see my grandparents, I thought it would be appropriate to dedicate a blog entry to my grandmother, Rita Paxton. Shane often tells me that if I'm not careful, I will one day wind up with a "Rita nose." I don't know how I WON'T get the nose unless I have plastic surgery, but thats beside the point. Anyways, enjoy!
Things that Crack Andy and Me up about Grammy:
1. How she says "Hiya..." instead of hi
2. How she pretends that she doesn't smoke a pack a day. She instead pretends to have to use the bathroom. It's a very elaborate scheme. She then sprays herself with Febreze and pops a mint. Then she says, "Gosh those lines are long." or "Had to change the toliet paper roll and get a new bar of soap for the bathroom."
3. Her obsessive, compulsive tendencies are out of control. She cleans up after us while we're eating. Are you done with that? No, Grandma, I just need to get the salt and pepper, i'll be RIGHT back.
4. Every morning after she washes the coffee pot, she has the handle lined up just so. Papa always moves it so that it is askew and this drives her insane.
5. She wants you to come visit and then she wants you to leave maybe a day later if you are on your best behavior. Otherwise, she considers you DANGEROUS and messy. She once got mad at Elizabeth for throwing up. Elizabeth was 3 weeks old.
6. She made my mom wash her hair in the basement because she didn't want all of her long hair in the drain.
7. She and my grandpa made my mom and uncle pay the difference for a milkshake instead of a coke at mcdonalds when they were teenagers
8. She once informed me that I was sitting in the dog, Molly's, chair and that i needed to move! 9. she pulls your arm and secretly whispers things to you that really dont need to be whispered. "When did you get so big?" Stuff like that.
10. Her uniform consists of a plaid button down short sleeved shirt and jean shorts that come up to just under her chest. She then wears high white socks and white tennis shoes.
11. When she says, "whatchamacallit."
12. She has more framed pictures of her departed dogs than of her grandchildren
There you have it!

You have your very own groupie. I even put your blog link in my blog.
So where are you headed to on the cape?? When my kids were younger we camped for years at Nickerson state park in Brewster, and would go to Orleans on the bike path.
Have a safe trip.
hahaha she sounds more like a character than a real person.
