On Saturday we went to Owatonna to see Nana & Papa and also to visit Great Grandpa Arnie and Great Grandma Marlys. Thankfully the weather cooperated so the roads were clear and the drive was uneventful. It hasn't been like that much this winter.
We stopped to see Great Grandma Marlys first. She was very tired and slept most of the time we were there. She is in a memory care center and she is well taken care of. It's always good to see her and I know she enjoys seeing us too.
Then we went to see Great Grandpa Arnie. He was up and doing well. Always fun to see him and chat about what's going on and reminisce about the past. His face lit up when he saw the kids - melted my heart! The kids had a good time too running around his apartment, up and down the halls (Madelyn) and trying to get the remote (Jack)! I always tear up when it's time to leave, not knowing how much time my grandpa has left and if he will be doing as well the next time we visit. I just pray that he is comfortable as I know he's lived a good life and there is an even better place waiting for him! Selfishly I just want more time with him.
We headed back to Nana & Papa's house where we had lunch and then the kids played for awhile. Always so much to do and such fun things there! Jack showed off his walking skills but mostly he just wanted snuggles and time with Nana! Jack's our snuggler - I love it!!!
