Grandpa

I went to see my grandpa today - he's looking pretty good. He does tire easily though. Laurel & I played cards with him for a while, 1 game crazy 8's which he won, 1 game rummy which Laurel won, and a half a game of crazy 8's in which Laurel came out ahead; after that, he needed a nap. *sigh*

My aunt Sue is coming into town on the 8th. My Uncle Charlie and his son, Brian, and his son are coming into town a day after Sue. This will be interesting, people. I don't know how it will turn out with grandpa and energy and all that jazz. Someone else said what I was thinking - the vultures are circling. Sad to think that about family, isn't it? I know that my aunt Sue wants to actually spend time with my grandpa and is coming in for good reasons, although her history is interesting. My uncle Charlie, I'm not sure about. I know my cousin can't wait to see my grandpa and show his his 1st born. I would be, too.

My sister, Laurel, just summed up what my grandpa has - old age. *sigh* I will keep you posted.

I am feeling much better; I still have a cough and sometimes sound like a man, but other than that I'm doing great! Just keeping myself busy with arts and crafts things. Speaking of which, Stephanie's mom taught me how to hand sew and finish the binding on quilts. I've also found invisible thread to use. I am now finishing with success my king sized quilt for my bed. My stepmom's brother-in-law saw it last night and suggested that he might want to take it home with he & Holly (Jody's sister) as it would look good in their bedroom. I told them that it was for my bedroom, and if they really wanted to buy it from me it would cost them $800. There's about $400 in fabric alone in my quilt. Needless to say, I still have it. ;)

I am off to play some more.
