Photography Challenge : Week 3 (a few days late)

Thursday morning my mom and I flew up to Chicago to spend a few days with my grandmother.  My grandmother has been in and out of the hospital lately recovering from a broken hip and a few other things that come from old age.  For the last month she has been staying in a facility that is helping her get stronger everyday so she can come back home to my aunt's house.  I haven't been up here since thanksgiving last year and a visit was long overdue.

So unfortunately, my photography entry is a few days late.  However, my grandmother and our time together has left me with some great pictures.  I have never, ever seen my grandmother with her nails painted.  She has never been that interested in things like that so to my surprise her fingernails were bright pink.  Unfortunately she thought the nurse painted them, but in reality my aunt gave her a manicure to pass the time while she stays at the rehab facility.  I thought her bright pink nails and green root beer float would be the perfect subject.

These hands have raised five children, seventeen grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren.

 I thought I would throw in a few more pictures of my mom and I spending the day outside with her.
