That’s The Ticket

Three generations [and a dog!] once again!

IMG_8265 (600x400)

Three generations in 2009!

IMG_0586 (800x600)

Mom and I hung with Gram this afternoon

IMG_8277 (600x400)

You know how I decorated my laundry room with antique boxes and Gram’s art? This is why! It reminds me of hers 🙂

IMG_8269 (400x600)
We have all been watching the Ken Burns documentary Prohibition. Gram brought out a book of old clippings to show me

IMG_8274 (600x400)

Which included two prohibition tickets

IMG_8282 (600x400)

IMG_8280 (400x600)

Dating back to 1891!

IMG_8283 (600x400)

Afternoon snacks. Dontcha just love the candy bowl!?

IMG_8271 (600x400)

Gram took a nap and mom and I went to hang out at the mall. I picked up a new laptop sleeve from Pottery Barn on sale for $9! Mom got some lipstick.

IMG_0611 (450x600) IMG_0610 (450x600)

Back at Gram’s place, we met a bunch of her friends at the Bistro for cocktail hour

IMG_8285 (600x400)

And then sashayed into the dining hall for dinner

Salad bar to start (I love their slightly sourdough bread too!)

IMG_8286 (600x400)

And two kinds of fish with a plate of veggies for dinner (it’s all buffet style here!)

IMG_8292 (600x400)

For dessert, I had a gelato (they have Ciao Bella!) with marshmallow topping. Love that stuff!!

IMG_8298 (400x600)

We just finished an hour of BINGO!

IMG_8299 (600x400)

Lucky me I had I-26 but it was not a winner : (

IMG_8303 (600x400)

Mom and I are tucked in getting ready for bed together. G’night!

    Great that you got to spend time with your family today 🙂 Hope the traffic wasn’t too bad!

    Aww have a GREAT evening Kath! Your salad bar salad looks terrific! Love it when you find good options on a bar. My mom has a huge collection of old coins – I get to inherit the one that’s from 1881 (100 yrs before I was born). I love historical family treasures!

    And Grandma’s ALWAYS have the best candy in candy dishes…I mean, no one else I know does that other than my grandmas and they’re the best childhood memories.

    Nice laptop sleeve score!

    Glad you had such a nice time (love that you got to play Bingo) – your Gram must feel SO wonderful to have you two there. It warms my heart that you take the time to see her and appreciate her! 🙂

      You’re sweet to notice. It was done by my dad’s aunt, Lillian Causey, whose art received some attention from Baltimore art circles. Sadly, just as she was getting even better known, she died in her forties of cancer.

    Your gram is adorable, bless her heart. I miss my gram very much every day, almost a year since she passed, Im glad you take time to see your gram and spend time with her, some people don’t and they don’t realize how important it is.

    Family: Lovely!

    Prohibition: isn’t it fascinating? I’m a Unitarian (which is a progressive church today and was pretty much throughout our history) and Unitarians (especially Feminist Unitarian women), tended to favor Prohibition (as a LIBERAL cause!). Isn’t that crazy? But it was true, the thought was (for the liberals who supported it, it was also supported by many conservatives) that if the men stopped drinking and wasting all their money on booze and then they’d stop going home and beating their wife and kids. If the booze was gone, then the domestic violence wouldn’t be a problem (yeah, had to learn a lot on that issue as a culture…still do). Anyway, its just funny to imagine yourself back then and see where you might have stood.
