A Favorite Memory

On Halloween my Grandpa Major fell and broke 3 ribs. He has been in a lot of pain and just sleeping with pain pills most of the time. I asked my grandma if she was lonely and she replied, "I don't have time to be lonely Julie." So I told her she probably would like some company or someone to talk to. She replied with "Nobody ever pampers me." Well she definitely said the wrong thing because I decided to give her a night of pampering. I made her minestrone soup, a salad, rolls and of course dessert. We went up to Salt Lake and had dinner with them and my dad. She kept trying to serve us our dinner like she always does and I made her sit the whole time. It was so fun watching her get spoiled. Afterwards I told her she was going to get a pedicure done. She replied with, "Oh no I'm not, I haven't had a pedicure in 88 years and I'm not getting one now." I told her she was and just to enjoy it. She had to go to the store first so I gave my grandpa one first. He loved it and kept saying how much I was spoiling him and when I rubbed his head he said he would have to send a taxi to my house weekly so he could have this done more often. When my grandma got back she put her feet in to soak and seemed to enjoy the head and foot massage a lot. Then I pulled out the toe nail polish and she had the biggest fit. "That is so dumb to put paint on your nails. What a waste of money." The whole time she was laughing and shaking her head. "Nobody is going to believe I let you do this." I couldn't believe she picked the brightest color out of the bunch. Hot Pink! They looked so cute and all she could say was how "Stupid" they looked. When we were leaving she told me thank you and Jake said when I hugged her she started to cry. He said she looked so happy. It was a wonderful night and one of my favorite memories. I love all of my grandparents so much but definitely have a soft spot for this stubborn German Grandma named Eva. Unfortunately I left my camera at home but she said she would have never let me take a picture to show the evidence. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for being such good sports. We love you.
