cleaned gma and gpa's place this morning - for the last time. they move out this week. i feel a bit sad, coz it's been my grandparent's house all my life - so many memories of growing up and stuff. but it was my mum's house all her life, and my grandparent's house their whole married life. so i don't feel i have much right to be sad if they aren't. gma says she's just not thinking about it. and keeping busy so she doesn't get sad. it looks so different without everything in it. i guess it's heaps foreign to me - moving - because i've lived in the same house my whole life. i must admit, my eyes got a little teary about it when i was with gma this morning.
meanwhile, how fun is my grandpa! we were shaking out a blanket that hadn't been cleaned for 26-odd years, and it was dust heaven! we were covered in it. either it would have looked like the worst ever case of dandruff, or like we'd been in the snow. it was hilarious. i haven't laughed so hard for a while (i seem to always say that though). grandpa looked so funny. and i haven't heard gma laugh so hard i reckon in my whole life.
the air conditioner in the bottom corner of the window came about coz my mumma and aunt broke a window playing softball in the backyard about a billion years ago. they freaked out coz they thought my gpa would go mental about it. so they told gma and not gpa (don't you do that?! tell mum and get her to tell dad when you're not there anymore?! i do). when gpa did find out he just said, let's put in an airconditioner. my mum and aunt freaked out coz he didn't freak out!
can you spot the little piccies of me and debs, and other family members??
