For my grandma (an old school 92 year old go-getter), nothing says "I love you" like some good ol' fashioned yard work. As part of her Christmas present (the other part consists of a gift card to her most favorite store ever), I decided to cut down a tree in the back yard...of our neighbor. This entails going deep into hostile territory (mosquito farm) and crossing enemy lines (reaching over and sawing off branches) Grandma had long since complained of our neighbor's tree that hangs over into our property and makes "so much rubbish."
BeforeI snuck out while she was watching her beloved Korean drama hoping that she wouldn't peek out until I was done. It was almost a success, but she was curious as to where I had gone for so long, that she poked her head out to ruin the surprise. Regardless, it was good to see her smile for the first time in a while (she had caught a nasty cold and was knocked out for over a week). Merry Christmas grandma...And now that all of our garbage cans are filled to the brim with all the cuttings, I have a great excuse not to do any more yard work. Merry Christmas to ME!

I almost couldn't see the difference! Good job buddy!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I was tempted to photoshop it, but figured, someone out there would believe me.
