This is a grandma weekend. I visited both of my grandmas in 2 days.

The grandma from mom's side was in taichung but came up to taipei to do a surgery on the spine, and she's temporarily staying in my auntie's house for the recover. She looks fine and spirited, just having hard time to walk smoothly. We had light dinner together with mom and aunties, watched tv, and talked about my india trip and work and other stuff. I hope she gets better soon.

The grandma from dad's side was busy worshiping today. This lunar month is so called ghost month and buddists have to prepare big food for all ghosts in mid lunar july. So as usual she moved the dinner table outside, put chicken/ fish/ pork/ other hot food/ fruits/ rice/ groceries... on the table, hold a bunch of insences and woriship ghosts and ancestors, then dig each incense on each item and wait for them to finish food. Once the incense burns to the middle, she would start to burn the ghost money until all papers are burned out. As usual I helped her move the table the food and everything, worship and burn the money, then clear up everything including food. I like her food especially the fried rice noodles. I've packed some back for tomorrow's lunch.

Grandmas are like this. You can hardly stand their nagging once you live with them, but when you're away you miss their food their cute face and philosophy. They also see you as a pain in the ass when you're always around, but when you leave them and come back to visit them once in a while, they will give you all they have including food the smiles and the sweet concerns. I love both of my grandmas and taichung grandpa, who I haven't seen for almost a year. They're all in their 80's now. I hope them healthy and happy in their rest life.
