David Archuleta Fans Germany

My Grandma is awesome. A lady that radiates love and is even more welcoming than a warm afghan and a candy dish (though her house was well known for both). You may remember her from this gem last year:

This past year my grandma decided that she’d had enough of housework, yard work, and many other mundane day-to-day tasks (I can relate), so she packed up and moved to an assisted living center in the same middle-of -nowhere town that my parents moved to a year ago. She gets treated like the Queen that she is and doesn’t have a care in the world (besides having fun and doing her hair up cute).

You know the problem with middle of nowhere towns? They are a pain in the tooshey to get to. Going to visit isn’t easy or cheap and therefore doesn’t happen all that often.

Not even at Christmas time. :(

Now in this middle-of-nowhere town there is a growing college. Because of the college there are many do gooders in town – young people who want to do a little something to make the world a better place, and therefore the Assisted Living Center gets many, many visitors (especially during the holidays).

Many of the kids come to sing, play the piano, share stories and talents, or just visit. Some are immensely talented, others are goofy, and then, one day, one kid was a Rock Star:

That’s my Grandma, and that’s David Archuleta. Maybe you’ve heard of him? He was a runner up on a little show called American Idol. He was in town for a concert at the college and wanted to do something nice in the community. He came to my grandma’s home with just his pianist and sang requests from his audience.

There was no press, no manager, no agent. Just a good kid wanting to do something good in his free time.
