May 2012 Week 1

Close to a fortnight before Grandad passed, we started staying over at his house and spending the nights there, helping out with caring for him.  Therefore, it isn't surprising that a bunch of what the little boy/we did this week was in/around Grandad's house. :) The little boy loved it.

 

He particularly loved to play with the garden hose and bubbles :)

We had one last Letti Thursday, and Walt came too, which was a nice surprise.

We managed to get out and about a few times, one time to Lowe's to get some garden supplies for home.. The hubs went around getting stuff, and the little boy and I stayed and played in our "hiding place" nook by the swings and patio sets.

 

We also made a short drive to Brownwood State Park and stayed for just a little bit - long enough to dip our feet into the lake and hike around a little.  It was over 100 degrees that day, so we retreated to our air conditioned car pretty quickly :P

Letti Thursday

Any day that Grandad feels strong enough to come eat at the table is a cherished day.

p/s We had ribs last week :P

The Week Before

The highlight of last week as well as this week was when Grandad came and joined everyone else in the dining room for Letti Thursday.

Last Week

Because of the shorter days and like that, as well as overcast skies, I'm losing good light from my kitchen window. Bleh. And I don't have any fancy lighting equipment and all like that, but oh well. :)
