What goes on at Grandma's stays at Grandma's

So what is there really to do in Panaca, NV? Well, in a small town of about 800 people, you have to make your own fun. Hopefully, it's legal. Well, for Jackson we brought his bike for him to ride, but here's his list of the things he found to do (in his words of course!):

Play in Grandma's pool. Play and splash for about 15 minutes, and then be done. At least that spot of grass got watered!






Eat ice cream treats and get royally messy. Make Grandpa think that there's blood on the porch because you can't eat the ice cream faster than it melts and drips all over you and everything within a 10-foot radius.





Talk and consort with the cats on Grandma's porch. They at least don't walk away from you when you talk to them (well, not all the time, anyway).







Laugh at the cats' funny jokes. They are so hilarious!








Finally, leave your mark. You don't want to be easily forgotten, and use what you have, i.e. your finger! This is G-gma's (great-grandma's) Korean lamp that she looks at everyday. I left my mark here so I'll always be remembered! Here's how I did it:






First, I thrust my finger forward like this and pop! the parchment paper makes a nice hole.







Two: Inspect the evidence, make sure the holes are clearly visible so that all can admire your handy-work.






Finally, proudly admit that it was your ingenuity and talent that created such a piece of work! Be sure to get a picture next to it! Oh, and it's okay to apologize to g-gma afterwards, she'll always forgive the great-grandkids!





Anyway, there's my trip to Grandma's in a nutshell. I did other things as well, but these are some of my highlights.

  3. Actually, she wasn't all that bothered by it. She said she could just fix it. For the time being, she just turned the lamp around to hide the holes -- good as new!
