Carol Perkins: The Visit Previous Column: Santa and Junior By Carol Perkins I spent last week with Carla, my daughter, because my son-in-law has been in the hospital for three weeks. I was to "help" with JC, who is a senior. I couldn't let him be alone! Grandmothers. He brought the Christmas decorations from the shed so I could decorate while she was at the hospital. JC helped with the tall things but then fled to his room. What did I expect? Joy to the World didn't include a grandson/grandmother moment. After all, he'll be eighteen this month. Within two days, the house looked festive, but only Iris, the dog, seemed to notice. JC did, however, notice the huge plate of Christmas cookies (made with Splenda and sugar-free chocolate chips for those who want to save calories) and before I left, I made another batch. My task was getting him up for school, so I set the alarm for six and knocked on his door. Then I snoozed till 6:30 and knocked again. "I'm up." He wasn't, so I set the alarm again. I heard him in the bathroom, so I relaxed and when I heard the outside door shut, I went back to sleep. Meanwhile, Iris decided to jump on my bed, fall asleep, and kick like a donkey for the next two hours. I had had enough, so I got up. I had a little dog sleeping at the foot of my bed at one time; not a horse. I stayed busy while Carla was at the hospital and JC was in school. I warned JC that I was cleaning his room; he warned me to stay away. We reached an agreement when I assured him that he could develop lung cancer from the dust. He relented if I promised not to throw anything away except trash. That boy didn't know what I might consider trash! While JC was in school, I explored Lewisburg, Murfreesboro, Franklin, and the Cool Springs Galleria. At Goodwill, I found four almost new prelit Christmas trees (bought one) and went up a street the wrong way. That's another story! You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com.
