Weekend

What was really cute this weekend, or rather who, was Ingos Grandmother. I had my camera with me and took some pics of her garden and flowers. She was astonished that she could see the result right away, next time I´ll bring the equipment so we can show her the photos on her TV. "That´s possible?!", she asked.

Ingo had his old MP3-Player with him (with radio) and the new one. Again, his Grandmother was very interested. She is over 80!

She liked my T-Shirt and wanted to see my new car from the outside as well as from the inside!

She is really such a cute person!

I don´t have a pic of her, but of the flowers that grow in her frontyard:



What was not at all nice on the weekend: Somehow some mosquitos made it through the insect screening. The next morning I had 20!! insect stings - big and really awful.

Ingo? None! They didn´t even gave it a try!

What worries me is that Ingos Grandmother talks about when she is dead a lot recently. She can walk without any help, she cares for herself. Her sight is excellent. Her memory, too. She even grows her own potatoes, runner beans, pumpkins, strawberries and who knows what else.
Probably she is alone too often? Ingo pops in at her place at least once a week, she cooks for him then. She wouldn´t cook for herself only.
Nearly every weekend we spend at Ingos place we visit her.
There are neighbours at her age around - so why does she think about her death so often now, I wonder (and worry)?
