"well that's cute"

So there is this wonderful lady. her name is weimer, donna jean wilson weimer to be exact. We visit her for about an hour every single tuesday and thursday.
Donna is 82 years old.
Donna, "is older than dirt" as she says.
She got married when she was 17 years old (holy moly!)
Donna loves to dance, sing, and talk to her "byu kids"
she calls kristen 'red on the head'.
she loves having acrylic nails, im now a pro.
she loves when we sing hymns and she loves when we line dance in her tiny apartment.

 When i dyed my hair (from blonde to brunette) i was afraid Donna wouldn't recognize me. I was right. I said "Donna remember me, i used to have blonde hair!" I told her i was the one who always sewed buttons on her towels. she finally remembered. Then she asked why i dyed my hair, as i was explaining my reasoning she exclaimed "YOU CAN'T DO S*** LIKE THAT AT BYU", kcag and i definitely got a good laugh out of that one.
Donna likes to tease us a lot, but we tease her right back :)
If you can't make it to Donnas on tuesday or thursday, the only acceptable excuse she takes is if you say "i was with a boy"--then it is a-okay.
I'm speaking for Kristen now, but Donna has both shown us how to serve, how to swear in german, how to love, how to roll up yarn. By visiting her, our day is better. We become more caring, happier, kinder, and more service oriented.
Do you have an "old-folks home" where you live? you bet ya do. Why not go visit them? They love having visitors, they get lonely. I know it smells like old people and i know their apartments aren't the most clean, but you'll end up getting more out of it then they do.

 I love Donna Jean. She's our "adopted" grandma and she is the best.
