I went to see my Grandfather today. For the most part, he was doing good. Mind you, he doesn't know what day of the week it is or even realize he is in a nursing home at this point. He seemed content and even happy at some parts of our visit. He told me that he cooked some eggs and a cake for breakfast and it was good and he had just gotton through petting his pet bull. He worked on a farm for a long time after he hurt himself logging and could not do that job anymore. I did get a bit peeved that his house slippers are ALREADY missing >Insert a very mad face here<. This is on top of a lost jacket and a lost denture plate. Keep in mind that today marked 7 days of him being there. So the shirts I was gonna take up to him, I have decided to keep here because I figure eventually his things will be lost and if I keep some here I will at least have some to replace them w/o busting the wallet. So a good visit was had despite some of the aggravation.

On a very upbeat note...I took my hiney back to church tonite. I had fallen out of going because of me caring for my Grandfather and then when he was in the hospitol I didn't go because I had fallen out of the habit. My church family is WONDERFUL because they sent word tons of ways they were thinking and praying for our family. I spoke to my pastor and told him that even though I had not been to church since beginning of February, it was a tremendous comfort to know that they were there for us. So tonite at service I gave praise that I was just there and then the scripture we studied really spoke to my heart. It will be one that I will give some more study over.

And here is my Picture of the Day.

Day 111 is a tiny wild mushroom. Sometimes you have to just pay attention and look close to see the simply beauties of nature.

Thanx for peeking in today!
