Day Two at Ashton Woods Retreat

It's always so much fun and so relaxing to spend the day at Ashton Woods Retreat. My brother's place is also a bed & breakfast on Bainbridge Island. We're so lucky to have his home as our little escape. We celebrated Christmas a bit early on the island with my Grandmother, who wouldn't be joining us for Christmas day this year. It was great to see her but sad to realize that time and age have caught up with her. She didn't recognize me nor remember that I'm her granddaughter. It was a bit of a shock because, although I've heard of her dementia, I have yet to experience it for myself. We enjoyed the best homemade fried chicken for an early dinner (thank you Christopher!) and chocolate chip cookies & milk for dessert. Yummy!
