My grandma Myers passed away this last December, she was 100 years old. I wasn't able to go to the funeral and felt bad that it had been 3 years since I had gone to Arizona to visit her. I decided to buy a ticket to Arizona to visit my grandma Merrill, who is 98. I want my grandma's to know how much I love them and care about them and I wanted to see her before she passed away. She is still doing remarkably well considering her age. Her mind is just as sharp even if she moves a little slower. I had a fantastic time visiting not only grandma but my parents and my sister Riann who also live in Arizona. I'm glad I went in April before it got too hot down there, Arizona is not my favorite place to visit because I'm always so hot!!
First things first, the night I flew in Riann and I had to go to Cafe Rio! I wish there was a Cafe Rio in Oregon!
Riann and I went for a walk on the "Lost Goldmine Trail" It was a fairly easy hike and you get to see some cool petroglyphs at the end of the trail.
Taking a break at the end of the trail to see the neat petroglyphs.
Riann, my mom and I went to the Mesa Temple to see the Easter pageant. I was lucky enough to be there for Easter weekend and we caught the last showing of the pageant.
Playing Yahtzee with grandma. She also loved playing Skipbo while I was there.
Seriously one of the best gelato places I have found in the US is just a few miles from grandmas house...I may have gone once or twice (or more) while I was visiting:)
Happy Easter! Riann and I each got a snickers bar from our dad (a true Johnson family Easter treat) and we feasted on biscuits and gravy for breakfast...it was amazing!
This is me and my Aunt Teri. She took care of my grandma Myers until she passed away. I love this lady and the selfless and wonderful way she took care of my grandma!
My mom and I took grandma to the cemetery where grandpa is buried. I'm glad I got to go and visit his grave. Grandma told me some nice stories about her and grandpa.
My dad has been super busy building a "hydroponics" garden in grandmas back yard. I can't believe how much work he has done on this!
Three generations of beautiful women. I'm so very glad I came to Arizona to see my grandma...family is so important and I want her to know I love her.
My mom and dad are the best!
Thanks Riann for hanging out with your big sister all weekend...love you babe!
