Staying with a pretty Great Grandma

We stayed a night in Mesquite with Grandma Jaussi and Aunt Darlene. It was so nice to catch up and enjoy the company of some great women. While we were there Andrew asked grandma some family history questions. He learned some fun stories from her childhood. We all loved the amazing artwork all through the house. Darlene makes beautiful pieces and grandma's are all classics.
