A Surprise Visit To Grampa's

Posted by Filiberto Garcia

It's already November, and Thanksgiving is coming around the corner quicker than I thought. No arrangements were made for dinner yet and the shopping definetley hadn't been done either! What were we going to do this year?

Well Grampa Stone lived about 3 hours away from us and we rarely had the opportunity to visit with him. Often on holidays, Grampa spends his time at the senior center playing checkers and watching the game with other seniors his age. We decided it would be a great time to give old Gramps a surprise visit!

Had the kids grab their best clothes and a couple toys or hand-held video games to bring along for the ride and told them a book wouldn't hurt either. When my wife and I were ready to go we packed everyone up in the car, set our home security system from allhomesecurity.com/ and were on our way!

Three hours later we arrived at the senior center. We were surprised to find he wasn't there this time! It had been a few weeks since I had last talked to Grampa, and it turns out; he found himself a girlfriend! We decided to call him from up the road to wish him a happy Thanksgiving, but stopped at a diner to eat instead of interrupting.
