Becca and Ken Visit From Canada

I hadn’t see my daughter, Becca, since 2012, when she came from Calgary to take care of me when I came home from the hospital in Flagstaff. When she told me she was coming to visit, I was so happy! They were in Georgia for about 12 days, but only on our side of town for about 4 of those days. They visited Ken’s family, and took a short vacation to Savannah before coming here.

We didn’t do a whole lot of stuff together. On the first night here, I cooked a big fat hen, made my famous potato salad, and roasted some asparagus. It was just enough food, and boy was it ever delicious.

On the second night, Becca, Ken, Fabgrandpa, and I drove the 50 miles or so to Austell, GA to Wallace’s Barbecue to meet up with the rest of the family. We had a table for 14! I was a happy Fabgrandma to have all my children and all of my grandchildren together. Well, except for Rafe, Becky’s husband, who was at home babysitting an appliance repair person at their new house, and Sarah, my granddaughter, who lives in Tennessee.

    This had to be a very special treat. With everyone spread all over it’s not easy to bring the family together. You simply glow in the photos. Nice looking family.

    It’s nice you had such a lovely visit. It’s hard to be so far away from family. I only get to see mine once every three or four years so I can empathize

    Were you talking about Flagstaff AZ? That’s where I live? You were in the hospital here? It looks like you had fun with your family. I think it would be hard if I hadn’t seen my kids in 3 years. Good times!

      Yes, I was in Flagstaff Medical Center for 34 days in 2012. My husband and I were working for the National Park Service at the North Rim Grand Canyon when I got sick.

        I’m so sorry to hear about your illness. 🙁 I’m glad you are better though. My hair stand works at that medical center. Small world!
