Grandma's birthday!

I copied and pasted this from my other blog since it's about Grandma:

Grandma is another year older!
I have no idea how old she actually turned and didn't ask since I wasn't even sure she knew. =p (Mom later told me Grandma turned 84). I didn't get around to asking my dad since ultimately, I'm just happy to celebrate another year of Grandma being around. She was born on May Day which is why most people think her name is Maida. The real story though, is that she was named after one of the ladies who helped deliver her. I like that. It's cute and old fashioned.

Naomi and I always have a nice time seeing Grandma. She talked to me about when my dad was on his mission and told me about a hallucination she had a night ago. I can't wait for that part of being old. Must make life so interesting! She said it was so realistic she almost didn't snap out of it until a night nurse turned on the bedroom light and showed her an empty room (she thought she was able to see well again and was reading a book to an infant Dana-my cousin who is an adult now). She said it was probably brought on by her wanting to be able to read to Naomi. She was happy to hear that Naomi gets read to often and enjoys it.

Grandma asked me lots of questions about things that are going on. We talked about Matt's setting apart blessing, the ground breaking for the new church building, and the recent scandal with one of the local doctors. I think she had a good birthday. She even had a frosty (pretty much her ultimate treat) brought to her by Dad.
