Erick's Grandma Charlotte lives in California (the state, not the Missouri town), so we don't get to see her nearly as often as we would like. We call her Gigi, which is short for Great Grandma. Once a year seems to be the running standard for a visit with Gigi. So when she and Erick's uncle Bill decided to make a road trip from California back to Missouri for Bill's high school reunion, we were excited to have the chance for a quick visit.
On Monday, the beautiful day that it was, Erick and I took Sophia and Gigi to lunch at Upper Crust. As always, the quiche was heavenly. The conversation was fun. Sophia loves to have a new audience, and she has always had a keen interest and admiration for our grandparents' generation. I'm so glad that Sophia has the chance to see and relate to her great-grandparents. I still remember a few interactions with my mom's grandparents, and that is a very special memory. Interestingly enough, one of Sophia's favorite topics of conversation with Gigi was her recent visit to Granny and Papa's farm.
Maybe we won't have to wait another year to see her again, but after this three-day road trip, I'm guessing that we'll be the ones traveling next time.
