Forever Young with Vicodin

I clearly spoke too soon when I said it wasn’t looking like Christmas. I had the joy of driving north to Hayward this weekend and was greeted with nearly 6 inches of the white fluffy stuff! Now I’m truly in the Christmas spirit.

While I was home I got to visit with my parents, Aunt Carol and Grandma Vi. My 91 year old grandma and I have a very special bond. We adore each other and are continually in tears from laughing so hard together. She truly has a forever young spirit, which I hope to have when I’m her age! She said, multiple times, how she’s so glad she can continue to laugh at all life brings. One of her secrets is not to take a lot of pills…she has only a few on her bathroom counter. The one I remember the most is vicodin. I asked her about it, and she told me that it helps with her leg pain. She said that she buy vicodin with credit card online, so she doesn’t have to leave her house. I did my own research about it and I was amazed to learn that it helps with something as simple as a toothache or even a broken bone. If you want to know more just click on the link.

So Monday night at dinner, we were drinking my Dad’s homemade Blackberry Zifandel (yes, no “n”) wine. Amazing stuff!  Somehow one glass of wine got to us and we ended up creating this masterpiece. If you know my family…you’ll understand this is pretty normal for us. Well, maybe not that normal. 😉

I’m so glad I’m able to capture these memories with my family. I wish I could have my grandma (& parents & aunt) around for the rest of my life. Since that’s not really an option, I’ll make do with our crazy videos and photographs. 🙂
