Grandma Visits

My maternal grandma - Ma Francisca

I was so happy to bring her to visit from Oklahoma. She has been visiting from Cameroon for some months now and stayed with my aunt in Oklahoma. My grandma was always there during the early years of my life, when I was often sick too, I'm told, and so I am very close to her. She had a great time in Arkansas, although she felt that we lived in a "bush"!! It was too natural, she felt. Well, she'd been in Oklahoma city all along. But she loved sitting out in front of our house and waving to the cars that went by, while watching the ducks and geese swim to and from the pond that lies in front of our house. She'll often take long walks too along the many quiet streets that surround the area.

I'm glad she came.
