All This Just Pho You....

Yesterday the girls and i went down the hill to visit my lettuce and angie...yes my grandma too. We had had plans to go eat some Pho together. i woke up at 8, claudia woke up a short while after me and i went in to wake up nancy. I went in singing her a song to brighten up her day, you know how everyone just loved being woken up with a lovely song.....hahaha....we looked out the window and saw smoke coming from the mountains in front of our house, nancy was still asleep that she thought they were clouds. we start getting ready, when we were all ready we had to feed the animals before we could leave....took us a while to feed the goats......the dogs.....the birds.....and the cat. soon after jamie arrived, we were finally ready to start our road trip down the hill. as we were heading down the hill we came to a place were it was so windy that we came across trucks that had flipped on their side. at one point the traffic came to a stop, all the cars started to move onto the emergency lane, as we got closer we saw that it was another over turned truck that was taking up all the "real" lanes. finally we get to lety's house, we said hi to everyone and i sat down with my grandma, to my surprise my grandma didn't have any teeth. lety had mentioned that she had gotten dentures, but i did not realize she meant for the top and bottom. i just thought she meant for the top. i know my grandma is old, but when i saw her it just made her look older. i kind of wanted to laugh but i held it in. she reminded me of her mom. i was helping her with a puzzle that she had been doing, when lety realized i was helping her, she told me not to help her, because she would take her past time away....but it was hard....it was addicting.....i found myself enjoying it....i guess its good practice....for when i have to do them...so it was time pho lunch....we all finally headed out the door for a phoful( is that even a word.....well...we'll pretend) lunch. it was very nice, spending time with lety and angie, we always have fun when we hang out together. wish we could do it more often but i cant seem to get over my fear of driving on the freeway. we finally finished and the girls headed out to get themselves some ice cream while lety and i stayed behind paying the bill. as we were heading out the door i heard the waitress and the busboy talking in their language and looking at me, til finally the waitress said " no tip?"...so i just pointed and said " its up there" ( side note...from writer...can you believe that, i would of gone back and taken it away...). after it was time to go home because martin had called us and asked to be picked up from school because he wasnt feeling well. we head home.... well it turned out that the 15 freeway was closed...after driving around in circles we get on the 215 and hit a patch of traffic....we of course were expecting that because the 15 was suppose to be closed....well that wasn't the reason.....the freeway was on FIRE.....yes it was....but it seemed like they had already tried putting it out so it wasn't a big fire. as we were trying to get home, ojitos was trying to find a way home too. we finally got home. oh what an adventure. shortly after oj gets home too. hope i didnt bore you with this long blog. but we were asked for a new blog....so here it is....extra long...
