It's WEDNESDAY and you know what that means :)

caution: this post is rather long.

Today is the one day of the week that I am my grandmothers chauffeur :)

Since I had leftover cake-pops, I decided to baggie them up and give individuals out to her lovely lady friends :) Oh my, they just gushed over the things... I learned that dear old ladies just love when youngin's like myself go out of their way to do something for them. 

{Granted, I just put my leftover pops in individual baggies}

**two pops per bag**

 They LOVED them. 

I even promised to bake them another treat for next week :) 

...and since I had extra almond bark to use up, I made some sweet and salty snacks...

**********************

The day started out interesting {as always}

I always get a good laughin' when my gram calls me on her little JitterBug cell... 

As you can see, it is a senior citizen friendly phone :)

 She calls me when they are almost done eating/talking

(her friends take her to the nearby restaurant after Organ class)

*Note: The phone is programed to call me automatically when she flips open the phone. All she has to do is press the YES button to confirm calling me! ...nifty, eh?!

The reason I chuckle every time she calls. 

Well, there is only ever THREE possible locations they dine at:

IHOP, Julio's, or Garden Cafe

...and every time she calls here is what it's like

Me: "Hi Gram, where you at today?"

Gram. "Erin. Hi. We are at ______. Do you know where that's at?"

Me: "Yes, Gr..." 

(she gives me NO time to answer and assumes I do not know where she is at, despite the fact that I have picked her up from each location at least 4-5 times this summer)

Gram: We are at _____. It is right off of x and q street. Do you know where that's at?

(I am thinking to myself....I have only lived in this city my whole life!)

When you pull up, enter the building and take a left. We are in a big brown booth and sitting in the far left hand corner next to some people that are all dressed up... 

(she continues to give me MAJOR descriptors) 

...the funny thing is, the restauraunts are so small that it's not like I won't see them RIGHT when I walk in the door! We don't live in NYC or anything?!

Oh Grandma.

 ----------------------------------

Next. She tells me, (not asks like she usually does) that she will be needing to make TWO pit stops on the way home... The Credit Union and Walgreens.

In a round about way, I asked her what she needs at Walgreens, because I have a lot of coupons at home that she could use. 

**Keep in mind that my Grandma feels the need to give cash away like candy at Walgreens. 

Why? I have absolutely no idea, but she has no care in the world for the price of things 

(only at Walgreens) - and it's not like she is made of money or anything!**

 She tells me that she only needs a prescription cough syrup (which actually turned out to be Clariton allergy medicine once I called my mom to confirm) and "Dove" face soap. 

Hm. I made one mistake.

I asked her if it had to be "dove" face soap.

"YES!" 

How else do I stay looking so young?! she responded quite abruptly. I have been using it all my life. It even helps with wrinkles says my dear 90year old Gram.

...we go into Walgreens.

look EVERYWHERE.

Down all the beauty isles and even candy isles that Walgreens has to offer.

NO DOVE BAR face SOAP. 

Oh dear. oh my.

I decide to ask the beauty clerk. Excuse me miss, do you sell "Dove Face Soap"

her response: "Dove Face Soap? ughhh, no. Not face soap"

My Gram is in disbelief and cannot even fathom the idea that some place would not carry Dove "bar" face soap. 

{Haven't most people converted to the liquid FACE wash by now?!}

Here's the best part.

FINE. She mutters under her breath. I will go to Bag N' Save (it's just as bad as it sounds) 

I know they will carry the "nice" soap I am looking for! 

Bahahahaha. Bag N' Save!?

NICE? now that's a hoot.

I cannot for the life of me find "Bar Dove Face Soap" that is made specifically for your face. She keeps assuring me that it is out there, but I have tried all the stores in Omaha and cannot find it anywhere. I have found many different types of Dove bar soap, but not SPECIFICALLY for your face alone.

(this is the closest thing I found - but it's not made specifically for your face?)

I think she has been using body soap for her face this whole time. 

She refuses to use ANYTHING except Dove Bar Face Soap. 

HELP. Is there such a thing!? 

I don't know how I will please her in regards to this one!

Sorry for such the long post. 

Hope everyone is well :)
