The outside of the club was filled with springtime flowers (more pics to follow) and I am so amazed at these 3 boys...so handsome, growing up way too quickly and very kind. 
Love this photo Todd took as Nick helped Grammama out after lunch. She isn't as strong as she used to be and this is just, for lack of a better word, touching. It makes me want to cry.
Oh, my sweet Grammama...she always loves me and vice versa and just getting to spend some time with her is something I always look forward to and I am so grateful we continue to have this time together. I don't think there is anyone who loves me in quite the way she does...and that doesn't discredit anyone else...just a special way. 
So thankful for such a beautiful time today at Cherry Hills Country Club with my family and Grammama and Harvey. We had made plans to do this for quite some time and it was a beautiful spring day to enjoy it out at this beautiful club that holds so many memories for me. Growing up, it was such a great to get to go out there with Grammama and Grandad Dell and it is still a pleasure to go out there when we get these opportunities. Every time we go, we all say that this may be the last time...and it may be, but I will always treasure these times I have spent there. Grammama and Harvey are getting older and life is just not as easy for them, but to have this time today is something that is never taken for granted and always appreciated. I enjoyed hearing Harvey tell about his time at University of Wyoming when he had to go there for a year and would hitchhike back home to Longmont on weekends (which, at that time wasn't a bad thing as truck drivers were happy to bring home someone in uniform...Army) until his "folks bought him an old Ford" to get back and forth. I also didn't know that he commuted to college in Boulder (CU) every day and never lived on campus. We have been very fortunate to have time to really get to know eachother and appreciate eachother and I know he loves me very much, and again, this is vice versa 100%. When reflecting, I fear the day my Grammama is not here with me physically. I know it will happen and although I can't imagine it happening for awhile, I am scared because I have never known life without her. One time, after Grandad Dell died, I told her that when she died, I wanted her to let me know she was okay and to give me a sign, but not to scare me...just let me know she wasn't very far away. So thankful I said that and I have no doubt she will...but not yet, please.
