Trying to Keep Grandma Current


My sweet grandgirls try to include me in their lives. Since they live so far away, it's not always easy. So today Madeline sent me the following picture and said, "Only Murders in the Building" was filming on my block today!"


Several explanations for some of you who just might be less "cool" than I thought I was. "Only Murders in the Building" is one of my favorite shows and stars Steve Martin (my favorite actor), Selena Gomez, and Martin Short.  Madeline lives in an apartment on Broadway in New York, and it's right across the side street from the building where "Only Murders" is set. 


So I glance at the picture on my phone and send back the following message:

"Oh my goodness! I wish I could have been there! Could you see much or anyone?"  Love, Mimi


And then, in the midst of that "group of bystanders" in the picture, I see...none other than...


My favorite actor.  In person. Up Close.


I've told Madeline she can feel free to make a meme or reel or TikTok showing how grandma-ish her Mimi is.
