I hope I look like my Grandma when I'm 90!!

Man she looks good for her age! The party was a hit and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The food was good, seeing people I haven't seen for many years was great. It made me realize that I actually miss some of them!! Grandma was glad to see most of her grandkids AND great-grandkids and was quick to recall little tidbits about all of them. She was also trying to " recruit" some of us younger folk into convincing my Dad that she should be able to live on her own again. She hates the place she's at and she doesn't sugar-coat anything when you ask her about it!! I guess when you're 90, you can do and say just about anything. Oh to be 90 ; )
Unfortunately, she has what appears to be early on-set of Ahlzeimer's and up until 2 years ago, she was in her own apartment. However, the staff at the senoirs apartment told my Dad that they thought she should be in a full care facility. She started telling everyone that people were breaking in to her apartment and stealing dishes, towels and food. To this day, she still insists someone broke in and tore up her bedspread. It's sad. I hope the party and the guests made her realize how special she is to all of us--she definately had a great time.

Father's Day was also a hit. The kids had made little gifts at school and we bought him a 007 movie. We had my in-laws for a BBQ and it was good. The kids got to swim in the pool--it was 72*--way too cold for me!

This week, Chris is up north working and won't be home until Thursday/Friday. The kids are having a bit of a hard time with him going. I'm going to miss him too......
