Grandmothers.

Grandmothers are the same all over the world....

I've only been to a hand full of countries but in each one the Grandmothers are just alike. Two days ago I went to Anrica's house with Fiona to discuss the camp food. Anrica is our camp cook and an amazing lady to say the least. We arrived at her house greated with Pastries and Drinks. We all sat down and before I knew it she was up again making us a salad. Fiona instisted to her that we were fine and didn't need anything. But of course like ALL Grandmothers she was off to the Kitchen to take care of us. As she was making the salads she said. How about some French fries.. Fiona said please don't go to the trouble.. Typical Grandma response... "Don't worry, watch how fast I can make these.... " Anrica shouts from the kitchen, "how about an egg to go with it?" This lady only sat with us for a good 10 minutes total out of our 2 hour visit. I told her, " You've worked hard all your life, take a seat and rest". She said, "If I rest, I die". She reminds me of my Beautiful Grandma back home. It takes us holding her down to enjoy a meal with us. Always serving, always loving, giving, selfless, taking care of the children, providing, working, Busy hands, in the kitchen, up and down, "How about an egg with that?". I miss my little Grandma, But it's good to know that Grandma's around the world don't mind taking care of me too.
