Sad week

It has been a sad week. Mel's mom passed away on Wed. March 29th. She had only been in the hospital since the previous Saturday, so thankfully she didn't suffer alot. She lived a long wonderful 91 1/2 years. We are going to Lewiston, Idaho for her funeral tomorrow. Jenny, Kaeden & Kailer are coming down tonight to go also.
They will stay with Jared and then ride up with Jared, Tammy & Quintin in their "new" van. Yep, Jared and Tammy bought a 2005 van. He was funny, as he told me "well, it is periwinkle" as he knows that is my favorite color.

Jenniferhas to take Kailer in today for his shots, and hopefully get some medicine for Thrush. Him and Jennifer both have it, and are miserable. And Kaeden was complaining that his arm is hurting. It is the same side as his "broken" thumb is, and I am wondering if they are connected some way. She said he isn't using it at all...not even to use the mouse to play games on the computer. They have been going to physical therapy for the ligament in his thumb, so not sure if this pain is a result of that injury.

I went over to Jared and Tammy's last night to take some pictures to try and work on making some wedding announcements for them. I am still not positive on what I am going to do, but will play with them and see what I can come up with. Quin was sitting in his new high chair. He looked like such a big boy. I love those big blue eyes that glimmer when he smiles. I also Love Jen's big brown eyed boys. I am so fortunate to have such cute and wonderful grandsons, and feel SO blessed.

I am still working on my craftroom, and will get it done one of these days, months or years...

Mel came home last night from Lincoln City. Last Thursday him and his brother Ronald went to Walla Walla to get the arrangements done for their mom's funeral. Then Mel went back to the coast to work on the house more.

My parents came back from Arizona on Saturday and stayed the night with me. They headed home on Sunday and it was quiet around here once again.

My sister, Pam called me for my birthday and we talked 89 minutes. Then on her birthday we talked for 111 minutes! We laughed, cried and talked. It was sad that Mel's mom passed away on Pam's birthday, but I know we can't choose the day. Then she called me today and we talked for 88 minutes. I sure love and miss her.

Here are also some pictures of the snow we had at the coast. That is very rare for the coast.

Til later...
