* Dan picked me up at 6ish to take my scooter-less ass out to Maple Grove
* Momstar (Dan's mom) helped us with directions to Grandma's house
* arrived at Grandma Mardine's (Doug's mom) at 6:30am

* Grandma had been up since 5:48 (twelve minutes to six, as she assured me several times)
* chatted with Grandma about life over peanut butter toast, peaches and water
