Hey Mags -
That's an awesome list. If you haven't already, print out a copy of it & mail it to Grandma - she'd love it! Tootles.

I love that you have those great memories. You were lucky to spend all that time with her while mom worked.
I know this is totally unrelated to your grandma- but I have to reply to the comment you left me: WHAT A GOOD PLAN!!! You are brilliant beyond brilliant! If we split the air fare, it is only $400 each... but how are we going to decide who has to ride in the suitcase?!? That is a dilemma. I guess we could rock-paper-scissors for the actual seat in the plane. Also, the tickets to the concert are only like $100.00, so we could plan the trip for what, like, $600 each? We have to include a hotel and maybe one meal, right?
