Happy Birthday Grandma!
Age 98 as of Friday Oct, 17. Went to Hillsboro & did sales tax & 3rd qtr payroll reports & saw several people I haven’t seen in awhile.
Stopped at Kenwood to see Grandma about 7:30PM. She was already in bed asleep. My first thot was to leave, but later followed my own advice to visitors at my place of employment-Wake them up, they sleep all the time.
Grandma recognized my voice even before waking. We had a good chat & discussed all the flowers & cards she had rec. Very thirsty and it was an honor to give my grandmother 2 large drinks of water, all while laying flat in bed and no choking. Says it’s hard to swallow like there’s something in her throat. This makes meal time unpleasant as she is compelled to eat all the food on her tray.
Her card shower is Sunday.
Went to the Gypsum Fall Festival today. Perfect weather. Missed out on a fish fry, but that was OK, they had plenty of scalloped potatoes-a favorite of mine. Saw lots of people I haven’t seen in a long time including one of my best friends in 5th grade-Brian S. So many fun memories of that year in school 1971-72.
A leg fx in ER as we came on duty at Hillsboro & those are the kind of ER’s I like. A typical 20 something male & afraid of needles, and yet these same males can have tats all over their bodies and that’s no problem. Wonder why!
Haven’t been here for quite some time, much too busy with tax deadlines. Extended 2007 tax returns were due Oct 15. All were efiled on time, one within 5 minutes of midnight, but several need to be rechecked to make sure there are no errors.
Lots going on the past 2 months & might mention some items as they come to mind. Need to get to bed soon, Communion tomorrow at Center.
