Cousins

Mommo's funeral was like a big family reunion. Lots of cousins and memories. Here's Erica and Luke.

Five Generations

In memory of Faith Anderson. She was a "Pillar of the Faith."

Mommo and the Girls

Luke wouldn't pose for the picture, so we just took one of the girls with Mommo.

Luke Visits Mommo

We took Luke to visit Mommo this week. He was a real hit at the "nursery" home, as Kylie calls it.

Visiting

Kylie visited with me this week. We went to visit Mommo at the "nursery" home, as Kylie calls it. She always has such an interesting twist to her words: "cauliflower" for flour, "presidents" for presents.

Mommo's 91st Birthday

We took the party to Mommo at the nursing home this week. It was her 91st. Kylie brought the balloons and poppers.

Here she is all dolled up.

Mommo gets her hair done.

Valentines Day

We took some balloons, flowers, and goodies to Mommo on Valentine's Day.

Family Trip

Wednesday, my mom, Josiah , and I took my grandmother, Mommo, to Walmart.

She did so well. We just put her walker in the shopping cart, and she pushed the cart. When we got to the pharmacy to get a toothbrush, we rested on the bench and talked. She was so happy to get out for a while. I hope she's not too sore from all the exercise.

Virgil got a job with the school bus garage as a substitute bus driver. He starts today driving a full-size bus to pick up some kids and take them home. He'll be doing a lot of weekend driving, taking deaf kids to school in Columbus on Sunday and picking them up on Friday.

Josiah is spending a few days with my mom. I hope he's not driving her crazy. He likes for people to do things with him and feed him constantly.

A friend who hunts on our property brought his small tractor and plowed our garden for us. I gave him a quart of honey.

Virgil has some work to do on his dumptruck and some gravel deliveries to make when he gets back from the bus trip.
