Jake Kilgore called me the other day and said his wife was sick and had to go to the hospital (she’s ok). His two young daughters were getting restless so he decided to take them for a drive to see his friends Grandma Bev. They started whining that they did not want to see Grandma Bev so Jake started building her up saying all the kids in the whole neighborhood just love Grandma Bev and that she always has treats for them. He said she has a big jar of pennies full to the top and a piano that plays by itself. Oh man were they excited to see Grandma Bev now! They pulled up in the driveway and ran up to the door ringing the bell and knocking at the same time. A little Korean kid answered the door and Jake said “Is Grandma here?”
“What?” The boy replied.
“Is Grandma here?”
“I’m not really sure what you’re talking about?”
Jake realized and said “how long have you lived here?”
“About three years”
Jake had no idea Grandma had sold her house at 940 East 1500 South in Bountiful and had bought a Condo about 5 miles away.
Jake said sorry to bother you and told the girls Grandma moved and they would have to leave. Both kids started bawling “We want to see your friends Grandma”, “You promised we could see Grandma Bev”…. Poor little girls had to go back to the hospital instead of cashing in their golden ticket to see Grandma Bev. HA!! I told Grandma that story after Jake had called me and she said to tell Jake to get those girls over to her new place and she’d have a special treat for them.
