Well another amazing visitor day. Ali & Jenni visited Mom in the morning, I came in the late morning and was able to have lunch and stay a bit longer in the early afternoon. Dick and all the Davenport kids headed in JUST in time for the Thursday Ice Cream Social. Jim was there in the later afternoon and stayed for dinner. Pat visited after work and while not in time for dinner, he did join Jimmie and Mom in the dining room. I headed back for the evening to pick up Pat and I heard from staff and residents that the "Erickson" table was definitely the fun table. Pat regularly gives Pietra - one of Mom's tablemates - the business and she gives it right back to him. I think Jimmy even upped the ante today. At one point Mom tried to give both of her sons to Pietra - but Pietra was having none of that...or at least none of them. When Pat and I left this evening we stopped in Pietra's room to say good night and she and Pat bantered again. (You can tell she really likes it...)
Ali's slide show of Grandpa. Ali brought copies of the Grandpa funeral video that she put together. It was interesting that when Ali brought the copies today Grandma said she wanted to watch it alone the first time. ??? And she still felt that way in the afternoon when I offered to watch it with her. But then Pat somehow convinced her to watch it with him... He prefaced by telling Mom this was probably going to be at least a five Kleenex movie. And it definitely was. Pat said both of them had tears streaming down their cheeks, but they both really enjoyed it. Ali: You did such a great job. She left copies for the Erickson's so if you don't have one yet - they are at Grandma's.
