A visit from Grandma Wall

This month continued to be busy and full of visitors as we had the privilege of having my Grandma Wall come to Texas. My dad flew to Utah to pick her up and they flew together to come visit us all in Houston. At just shy of 93, I am impressed she can go and do as she pleases still.
She is beautiful and still going strong! She is much more frail than the last time I saw her, but she is still mentally strong and is enjoyable to have a conversation with. We talked about books we both enjoy and how we like Hallmark movies and books that are mindless when we just want to relax such as Josi Kilpack books. She told me how she really dislikes her name Mabel and at one point she wanted a different name so bad that she said "just call me Sunshine" haha. I love that! 
She came to my home one afternoon and we had lunch and played like 20 rounds of Kings in the Corner. She loves games, just as I do. She got to see all the kids and spend a little time with them. 
My dad and Grandma have good, healthy genes, and I pray that I continue that legacy. I loved having a visit from her and although we mostly just ate and talked, it was great for her to be able to make the journey to us. I hope we can make it to Utah to see her again soon!
