I love my grandparents!

Every Tuesday night I have been visiting my grandparents and spending a few hours with them. I just have to proclaim that I LOVE it and I have been learning soooooo much. Tonight my grandmother taught me how to make jam. She is an expert! We first took all of the nuts from the apricots and then smashed them making a very gooey mess. Then we boiled them and added pectin and lemon juice and lots of sugar. Grandpa came in to help us stir as well as he brought up more sugar. It was super funny because grandpa keep telling grandma what to do and she kept muttering about how she was the one who taught him how to can and that lady that said...wasn't born until she had been canning for 20 years and ect. It is fun to see how they interact together adn how much they love each other still! Grandma told me about how she would do dishes with her father and he would wash and she would wipe. She said that if she ever saw that he didn't clean a spot he would say and what kind of good wiper can't clean that off ;). I have already gained some really great memories with grandma and grandpa---looking at their wedding album with the card that was ripped from the side of a paper bag and grandpa laughing so hard his eyes teared, grandpa eating ice cream and a protein shake after every meal, and grandma so proud of her newly decorated kitchen. Did you know grandpa was baptized in the Manti temple? ---Pretty cool stuff. Plus I am finding out things that I do that grandma does too: she likes her cookies on the well done side, she drinks water from the tap becasue she doesn't like it that cold, and she loves apricot jam on her pancakes!
