The last picture, with just the hand and the paw, got me.

Where does Grandma buy her one-toed slippers, and do they come in wide sizes?

That is just so dear. The "I love you, and by you, I mean the food you're eating" is extremely familiar.

Since I did not see this the first two times, I will chime in and say this is terrific. Love them both.

Where does Grandma buy her one-toed slippers, and do they come in wide sizes? They are called jika tabi and are very comfortable on my duck feet. I've been lusting after some from this place because ooo, pretty fabrics.

Off-the-scale sweetness. If I had that cat, I would name him Thin White Duke. Duke, for short. Yes, I would. Or maybe I would just go full dorky fangirl and name him Jareth. (He's probably better off with Grandma.)

Oh, that is just lovely. It seems to me like the photographer has a very keen eye for who grandma is. I got an impression of personality through the photos, at least. I'm not 40 yet, but I'm already thinking about grandkids (ssshhh, the kids don't know). Health allowing, it'd be great to just putter about doing the grandparent gig with grandma-to-be.

Looks like this 88 year old lady and her cat have a more active lifestyle than me.

These are just wonderful, thanks for posting. I particularly liked the picnic on the tree stump, and the the last one (paw/hand).

I loved it too, but why is Grandma taking a bath with floating squash/apples/whatever those are.

Persimmons and why not? Grandma does what she wants and doesn't care what anyone thinks!

In that case, grandma should get a pet honey badger.

I miss my grandmother. She was a little Italian lady from Philadelphia and yet had the same smile and the same hair this lovely Japanese granny. What a beautiful world.

why is Grandma taking a bath with floating squash/apples/whatever those are. Those are a type of citrus fruit called Yuzu and taking a bath in yuzu (yuzuyu) is a tradition on the winter solstice. All of these photos remind me of my grandmother, there's details in them that show things I haven't thought about for years but are all very comforting.

What a wonderful life these two enjoy, and how fortunate we are that it has been recorded so beautifully. I can almost smell the Yuzu.

The black-and-white photo of both of them taking a nap together also got me, because I know that at some point during the 16 years my Zach was around, it's very likely someone could have gotten a picture like that of him and me.
