Timeless Love

All right ladies.

Hello Aimme.

Well, good morning.

What an awful thing to say.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Poured in my eyes, it'll work faster.

Oh my goodness.

Had fun last night?

Here you go, it's not Starbucks, but it's better.

What I would give for a hazelnut latte with almond milk.

Who knew that almonds gave milk?

You know, when I was your age,

we didn't have all those fancy ingredients.

Mocha latte, poopy, potty, whatever.

We had cream, we had sugar, we had black.

Hey, I liked my coffee.

Honey, your coffee

is nothing but a cup of future diabetes.

Diabetes with caffeine.

Eat your breakfast, it'll do you good.

There's enough cholesterol on this plate to kill a bull.

When I was your age, we didn't know all the hazards

of glucose or lactose intolerance.

We just ate what was put before us.

Yeah, but you were never worried about cholesterol

when you were younger?

Never, we just ate all the fatty foods we could.

We ate it with relish until our hearts exploded.

Seriously?

Okay, okay, I'm gullible, what can I say?

Oh, yes you are.

Good morning, ladies.

Good morning, Robby.

I didn't hear you knock.

It's because I didn't, I never do.

I know.

Did you change your hair, Mrs. A?

Thank you for noticing.

Of course.

Going with the cave woman look today?

I like it.

Oh, thank you.

Hmm, this is good.

Robby?

Huh?

Would you like me to get you a plate of breakfast?

Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you.

It's really good though.

What kind of eggs are these?

Chicken.

Hmm, it's good.

Nice hat.

Thank you.

All right, we're off, grandma.

Well, you have a good day, honey.

Okay.

Oh, oh, Lauren, before I forgot,

can you come home right after class?

I, I really could use your help

to get all the Christmas decorations down from the attic,

if that's okay.

Can you?

Oh, grandma.

You don't remember what happened last year?

What?

When the squirrel got in the Christmas tree

and the whole thing came down?

We don't want a repeat of that.

I don't do squirrels.

Thanks, good to know.

What, who knows if that squirrel's coming back?

But anyway,

I need my Christmas decorations down here, please.

It is the 21st century.

Yes, and?

72% of people have said that they hate Christmas

and that they're just do it because everyone else does.

Did you make that up?

I did.

Oh God, you know that isn't true.

Listen, Christmas will be celebrated in this house,

and I'm just asking for your help

to get those decorations down for me, please.

Oh, come on, Lauren.

How can you say no to these big, beautiful grandma eyes?

Don't touch me.

Okay.

So what are we looking for now?

Are you serious?

I grew up in a Jewish household.

All we had was Hanukkah and guilt.

Well, just look for stuff that's fun and, and festive.

What is this stuff?

This is so random.

Ooh.

Aw.

Sorry.

Oh, this is red.

What is this?

How about this?

Oh my gosh.

Come here and look at this.

This looks pretty festive.

Look, it's nice.

What is it?

It's grandma's journal.

Who?

Her journal, about grandpa.

"This summer in our small town"

has been disappointingly uneventful.

Let's just say it's lacking the adventure I had hoped for.

None of the boys I've met seemed to understand

my depth of love for my God.

"Really leaving me hoping for some more connection."

Oh my goodness gracious.

Come on, honey, we're gonna be late for church.

Oh, we'll be all right.

Mama's already there,

and she took the boys with her to Sunday school.

Where's Aimme?

Oh, no worry, she'll be along, she never misses Church.

Aimme.

I don't know where that girl's mind is.

She's young, we were young once.

We were.

Hey, wait, I'm coming.

I told you I was coming.

Thank you, please be seated.

Now, before we begin our lesson today,

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you

to the newest member of our little community.

Please welcome Albert Anderson.

Albert comes to us from the seminary in the city,

and he's here today to meet and greet our friends and family

and continue his education and relationship with God.

Welcome, Albert.

Thank you, sir.

"And when I saw Albert"

step up to that pulpit for the first time,

oh, he took my breath away.

"I just felt the spirit inside me just spark."

Welcome, young fellow, welcome.

We think you'll like it here, we all do.

Absolutely.

You know, Albert is looking for room and board.

Oh, he is?

Really?

Yes, I have good hands and a strong back.

You know anything about farming?

I know about hard work.

You know, you could use some help around the farm.

- Yeah. - That'd be wonderful.

Yeah, okay, we'll take you on.

Thank you, sir.

You can bunk down in the basement with the boys.

Okay, you, you met my wife.

Hi, very nice to meet you.

These are our boys, Richard, Toby and little Paul.

You'll hear him before you see him.

My daughter, Aimme.

Where did she go?

I don't know, I don't know where she got off too.

You'll meet her later, welcome again.

Thank you, sir.

What's up, Mrs. A?

Oh my God.

How can you drive that smoking beast?

Does it even have seat belts?

I know that she does not have airbags.

Francesca can hear you, this is my baby.

Oh, your baby.

How did you guys make out with the Christmas decorations?

Are we all good?

Yeah, about that.

What?

So they're kind of old, and rusted, and broken,

but, but, but we could go to the store.

Oh, no, no, out of the question.

Honey, my decorations mean the world to me.

They're full of memories,

and store bought is out of the question.

It's all plastic and tinsel.

Christmas is all run by corporations now,

and there's no memories.

I will not have store-bought decorations, absolutely not.

Grandma, there's no salvaging these.

Like, we need new ones.

I got it, we're gonna make our own Christmas decorations.

Oh, come on Robby.

No, we can't, we can't do that.

Yes, we absolutely can.

So you guys need to run to the craft store,

get all the supplies.

I used to do this when I was a little girl, I love it.

Please say yes, yes, yes.

Yes.

Say yes.

Yes.

Okay, good idea.

So, what do you think?
