This first weekend in November was fun because we got to spend the day with Grandma Della in WI. For her birthday the past few years we have gifted her with our presence:) She says she prefers that over some "thing" we may find for her. Anyway, we come up and spend the day with her and take her to dinner. After the afternoon visiting with her at her house, we invited my parents to join us for dinner to visit with them, too. It was nice to see them, and they kept the children distracted at dinner so I could get some good quality time talking to Grandma. I learn so many fascinating things about this wonderful lady every time I have the chance to talk to her. Since I'm writing this in the beginning of February, 2018, I already know now that Grandma has just been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. Obviously this is incredibly difficult news to absorb and come to terms with. More on this once I get to the mid-January posts! For now, we are grateful that so far she is not in pain and we still have some more time with her. This evening back in November was a lovely memory, not only from the great company, but because the supper club was so great. I love a Wisconsin Supper Club, and not just for their amazing Old Fashioned's!
