Most of Har's side of the family lives in the Grand Junction area, so during our visit we got to see his parents, both grandmas, aunts, uncle, nieces & nephew, counsins, cousin's girlfriend, old high school buddies....and the list goes on.
Harland's grandma, Jessie, is a tough and feisty ol' girl farm girl. Everyone gives her a hard time. EVERYONE. I think she's 80 and she just quit her volunteer job after more than 14 years as a "foster grandparent" in a daycare where she was working with 2 and 3 year olds. Tough. She kind of reminds me of a female Walter Brennan, especially if you've seen his character, Stumpy, in the John Wayne movie Rio Bravo. I love Grandma Jessie!
Our last night in town lots of the fam came over for one last visit. It was one last chance for Har to teach his favorite card game: GOLF (if you don't know how, give us a call and we'll schedule a game night). And thanks to a suggestion by Harry (we'll call him an uncle) we made s'mores. Just like our whole vacation it was the perfect night!
Thank you to all of our Grand Junction family and friends. We had a great time and we miss you guys. Hopefully, our next visit won't be too far off. Love and big fat hugs!
