There's Coffee Cake on the Counter and Zuchinni Bread in the Freezer...

Sharing information about the matriarch of the Erickson Family...

Thu., Fri., June 17-18th

Thursday was a great visitor day fro Grandma. Barb was there as she opened her eyes… Kirsten stopped by before Barb left. Lyn and Michaelyn came by at 11 and Kirsten rejoined them again at 12. Kirsten, Lyn & Michaelyn took Grandma out for a car lunch and what ended up being a tour of Spokane as we were looking for good pineapple chicken. (The truth be told, Grandma was not that enamored of driving around…) We all stayed and joined her for the ice cream social and would you know it = Pat showed up just before they put the ice cream away. He stayed not only through the ice cream social but of course stayed with Mom for the weekly Happy Hour and free booze….folllowed by a special Chicken Pot Pie meal. Mom seemed to be in good spirits.

On Friday Pat had coffee with her in the morning because he was able to go to work a little late and I was able to get there just before lunch ended. We went back to the room and played a game of gin rummy with some larger cards that they provided. I am not sure how Mom was really doing. Without her glasses…I think there is some eye strain issues. Pat came by about 2 so I headed out as I am starting back to work on the grants. Pat took her for a walk by the river and then they sat on the swing and swung for almost 45 minutes. Pat helped her to dinner but did not stay. He said Mom was in great spirits the entire time.
