Grandma Rawson and Her Mysterious Store

KK and I had a sweet date with Grandma Rawson. At least, I couldn't think of any better idea than spending time with Grandma this Friday night.

And yes, we finally watched the movie with her, after purchased the DVD and prepared for this movie night for so long. Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs is a pretty funny movie that we love, but grandma fell asleep in her chair until the movie is almost over. She commented, "hmmm...this movie only borrowed the title from the book."

Grandma wanted to go downstairs when we were there. I was in shock of her "store" downstairs! That's like 10 year's food storage. She totally inspired me to use the commercial papers more wisely and clip the coupons out. Grandma was so cute! When we asked why she would keep so much food, she was putting the food cans in the racks(wow, she even has the racks that they have in grocery stores) and paused. She said :"well, before, I have grand children shop here. Now, I don't have have any grand children shop here anymore......So, if you guys see something you want, feel free to take some." Haha, I loved her humor. Truly, I am impressed by her mysterious store. I guess I am acting foreign here, but my family never did food storage in China.

About being super nice and humorous, KK has a wishful thinking that he wants to be a very nice old man when his hair turned grey. But on Friday, he got  a fortune cookie saying that "The older the crab, the tougher his claws." That was not fortune! Or, maybe it is for him, saying that he would be fusty and mean- that would really be a bad fortune for him ;)


Right before we left, Grandma also gave us half loaf of her homemade bread. I swear that is probably the best bread I have ever tasted. She even let me borrow one of her books to read over Thanksgiving break. The simple conversation we had with grandma really made me feel great peace and love inside, just like the feeling you have when you watch a heart-warming movie. We love her!
