My grandma’s favorite shows ?

  1. The obvious favorite is Golden Girls. She can understand the show and she likes the humor of the show.
  2. Family Guy – Now you wouldn’t think this type of show would humor an elderly person in their upper 80s but she really likes it. She really likes Peter Griffin.
  3. American Dad – She really likes Roger the Alien.
  4. Judge Judy – She really likes Judge Judy and the cases. It entertains her.
  5. Ryan Hall – She likes watching Ryan Hall’s videos on Youtube.

5 reasons I like Muskingum County

  1. First, in Zanesville, a little ice cream shop called Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl exists. They make these huge ice cream sundaes. Then they have this nut counter, that has the most delicious different types of nuts.
  2. Off I-70 in Zanesville a place called Zanesville Pottery. They have different pottery pieces. I enjoy shopping there.
  3. I enjoy the Christmas store off I-70 in Zanesville,OH
  4. I like Dresden,OH they have different shops that sell baskets and more.
  5. I enjoy the different small businesses in Zanesville. I enjoy Muskingum County.

Make it a party !!!!

So one thing I like to do that excites my grandma is making a party occur. For instance. A few things I like to do is

  1. Buy some pizza and have soda. This not only excites her but she can pick the toppings and make different combinations. She really enjoys doing this.
  2. Make a dessert. So tonight I chopped some strawberries up and bought some yellow cakes and made strawberry shortcakes. She loved it.
  3. Make popcorn and buy candy. She enjoys it and it excites her.
  4. Do some karaoke. She can read the words and it excites her.

Cool Stuff to do with the Elderly

So my grandma and I like to hang out and through the years I have learned of fun and exciting stuff to do with her that not only engages with her. Here is some stuff I like to do with her.

  1. Going to Pharmacies. I know this sounds weird but my grandma enjoys a trip to the pharmacy especially when she has a list of stuff to get. I like to take her to the seasonal section because she enjoys looking at the candy and decorations. Not only does it get her out of the house she enjoys doing it.

2. I like to take her to the bakery/Icecream or Dessert. She loves going and getting some sweet. Not only does it make her happy but she enjoys eating the items.

3. Out to eat. My grandma loves going out to eat. she loves talking to me and loves eating food.

4. The Farm Stores. My grandma likes going to the farm stores. Now I know this sounds weird but she likes the seasonal departments and she likes the birdseed area because she feeds the birds. She also likes the food department and the cleaning supplies department.

5. Playing Board games and watching music videos. Both of those things my grandma likes to do. It keeps her entertained and she has a good time.

My 3 Favorite Cities I have been to

( Hillsboro is NOT on this list because I live here )

1. ZANESVILLE, OH

My family comes to the city every year and we have our reasons. First, they have the nicest Holiday inn Express to spend the night. Next, you can’t forget Tom’s Icecream Bowl. We love the old-fashioned Peanuts they serve and the atmosphere and the sundaes are massive. They also have a very nice mall called Colony Square Mall to look around. They also have a very nice Antique store called Clossman’s Antiques. Very nice Antique store. We love the Zanesville Pottery Inc store right off of I-70. This is my favorite city to come to.

2. Cambridge, OH

We spent the night at Microtel. Very nice Hotel. We went to The National Museum of Cambridge Glass. This fantastic museum has all sorts of Cambridge glass. We ate at the most delicious Greek restaurant called The Forum. Absolutely amazing. We also got to visit the Mosser Glass store. It was amazing. We also visited the Country Bits store it had many great items. I highly recommend going to that store.

3. Berlin, OH

I love this small Amish town. When we travel here we stay at the Inn at the Amish Door. We always eat at the restaurant right next door. We love all the small shops in Berlin. We also love Boyd and Wurthmann. It is always delicious. We like the Berlin Village Antique Mall it is such a fun antique store. We also visited the Christmas store Tis the Season. Fantastic Christmas Store. We also love the Amish thrift stores they are great stores. I highly recommend this small town.
