Seeking wisdom?

Look no further!

My Grandma is a reliable source for love, warm hugs, long talks, good books, a trusted movie buddy, awesome emails, and a good laugh. The list could go on and on...

Just a few pics of our last trip to Spokane where we ate good food, had long talks, and watched The Artist (highly recomend it) and The Hunger Games (huge mistake...I think this movie is more for my generation..Grandma was a little upset and disturbed-sorry!).

I love you Grandma!!!!!

{ "Off to Grandmother's House We Go"... }

Grandma's famous Pie. Her crust recipe is for the books. Honestly...

Grandpa. A devoted cook. Always in his kitchen.

This past weekend, we went to visit my lovely g-ma.

Movies, food, relaxing were all on the agenda.

It was so nice not to worry about looking cute, or being somewhere on time.

RELAXATION!!!

Also, special thanks to Nat & Shawn for letting me crash on your ultra plush couch. It was nice.

I heart you Spokane.

Every time I pass Manito Park, or simply grandma's house...I can't help but think I'm home.

P.S. Oh and Nat, I'm perfecting my pizza...get ready for another domestic battle!

{ A weekend of Grandma... }

Grandma,

I love that we watched 8 movies while you were here.

I loved that you and mom went into a pie making frenzy. You are an excellent pie maker if I do say so myself.

I loved it when you would play your classic 'Smoke gets in your eyes' piano piece, which I absolutely adore.

I love how you totally got me into a craze for Charley Chaplin and his silent movies.

You are such an inspiring person and I am so grateful that I can call you my grandma.

As you and grandpa always say...

"I love you more than all the pine needles on all the pine trees."

~Love, Noelle~

{P.S. I am considering learning one of your classic piano pieces, so I can carry on the tradition.}

{ 10 seconds or less... }

Self Timer shots are Awesome. I guarantee you will enjoy scrambling around before 10 seconds is over to get a good photo. It really is fun! Try is sometime.

Grandma is here. Movies are being watched. Chocolate candy. Fresh Strawberries (for you Nat). Sunshine. Books. Piano. Flowers.

Happy Mothers Day to all you FABULOUS mothers.

{ We were WICKED... }

{pics are a little dark}

Ok. Wicked could not have been more amazing. My favorite Broadway!! I recommend it to EVERYONE! ahhh. still can't get over on how brilliant it was. I would have taken pictures to document it...buttt....thought i shouldn't spoil the amazing sets and costumes. Also, not to mention that it's terribly risky & Prohibited. haha. ANnnyway, still...Blows my mind.

Grandma came up just for the occasion. I love her (if you haven't already read.)

Again, Brilliant!

{ A message to her... }

Every night, before i go to bed, i heat my sock full of rice up (a warming technique...google it.) and then Wrap up in my nice, buttery yellow, soft, good smelling, homemade afgan. Made by the one and only:

My Grandma.

So a message to her:

Thank you. I love you.
