Great Grandma Laura

Elizabeth,

Yesterday we went to visit your Great Grandma Laura. Charlie (her second husband) and her live on a acre of land on a hill. It was a pretty idyllic "Little House on the Prairie" sans the highway hidden behind the tree line. Since her memory is a little on the wonky side we had to introduce you over and over. How much did she weigh? Are you nursing? What's her name? And every time she asked and we announce her middle name was Madeline (her middle name is Madelaine) she reacted with joyous surprise and excitement. She actually hooted and stamp her foot a few times. Even though we did not spell it the same way, she was just tickled and after the 10th time of asking her name we figured we could fib and spell it her way. Like she'd remember. With spaghetti pie and mint brownies, it was a very sweet visit.
