A day in the life of us....: Visiting Grandmas

You know you are in Kodiak when....

When traffic reports are replaced by the FISHING REPORTS
The water on the floor mat in your car is frozen
You automatically remove your boots when entering someone's home
You use flat-rate priority mail boxes more than envelopes
In Winter, you know who is taking their Vitamin D and who isn't
If you don't already have auto-start on your vehicle, you wish you had it
You know what a Coastie is, and it doesn't mean you live near the beach
You know what Xtra Tuffs are, and you have some
You have to do the Kodiak Stomp before entering a store
Just because you have a ticket to fly, doesn't mean you will actually leave that day--"weather permitting"
It's cheaper to buy DVD's than to have cable TV
Store clerks actually wish you a "Merry Christmas"
You hear people complain about having to drive "all the way to the other side of town" (10 minutes)
Traffic congestion is 3 cars at an intersection
Your car doesn't have a chance to warm up before you arrive at work
When looking out the window is more reliable than the weather forecast
You go to work, church, and shop with the same people
Driving a rusty car is "no big deal"

Visiting Grandmas

Grandma Betty & Lori

Lori spent Saturday afternoon visiting with both her Grandmas who live locally. Grandma Eve is doing well, we had celebrated her 91st birthday last week. Today the sun was out, so they took a stroll in her front yard to enjoy the flowers, rhodies, lilacs, and blue bells.

Grandma Betty recently moved to a new facility, closer to Lori's dad. They enjoyed conversation and dinner together.

Unfortunately, both of Matt's grandmothers had passed away in recent years.
