My Grandmother 's Daily Routine

My grandmother daily routine, consist of waking up every morning at 5 am, boils hot water to take a shower, afterwards she begins to feed the animals she has in the farm, like the chickens, turkeys, dogs. She starts cooking breakfast for my grandfather before he goes out to the field. After he leaves, she starts thinking about what she will make for lunch when my grandfather comes back, and she said that if she doesn’t have the ingredients she usually goes to the other side of town and grabs a cab to go to the market and shop for the necessary things.

At the end of the night, her and my grandfather drink coffee and eat homemade bread and just talk and usually one of her children call her from the United States to see how they are doing.

Most of her siblings have passed away and her nieces and nephews all live in the USA. My grandmother isn’t usually the one to turn to anyone if she ever needs something, she feels like she would be a bother to any of us. Everyday I remind my grandmother that she will never be a bother to us, and we would love it if she asked us for help when she needs it because even though she is a strong woman, she sometimes needs help in certain stuff. During this case study, I learn more and more about my grandmother as I talk to her.
