Welcome to the 21st Century, Reg & Carolyn

We have joined the 21st Century with our new, HD, plasma tv!!! Whee!! Now I have to figure out the room again..oh darn!! We're watching "Top Gun" with surround sound!! The music is awesome..the sound system even has an Ipod dock and connection..too fun! New stuff to learn..
Bruce and Cathy came to visit too. We gave them a taste of Shelton culture and went to the Forest Festival parade. I love small towns..it was fun walking down the street and seeing lots of people I know..
Tillie is 9 months old today..3 more months and our little peanut turns 1!!!!

We also bought a new mattress set for our guest room...aka, Emily's old room..the old mattresses were ANCIENT!! My grandma moved them up here in 1983 and no telling how long she had them when she lived in California..so, company..come on over!!!
I visited my Mom on Thursday..she's in a different room..at first I freaked because she is in the area where those with more severe dementia are...I hate going there to visit..I wish things were different, but they're not..anyway, I felt better this visit. When I arrived, Mom was in the activity room where one of the aides was doing a hymn sing along..they had a tape player with all these old time hymns on it and typed words for us...afterwards we wandered the halls and went outside for about 10 minutes, but it was hot, so we went back in..went around the halls again and I stayed with Mom until she went to the dining room for dinner. She seems to be accepting of where she is at and knows she is nearing the end..

Well, back to "Top Gun!"

Sweet Grandma...I'm glad you had a good visit with her.

Your post made me want to watch Top Gun--it's been years!

Can't believe Tillie is almost a year old.

Looking forward to seeing you in two weeks!
