Douglas and I went to Grandpa’s house this morning to visit and then help grandpa into the senior agency van with his wheelchair . (The grandkids sure like grandpa’s house being only 100 paces away.) We found him in good spirits and a little bit improved. He is now able to walk 2 to 4 steps from his chair to his wheelchair. I know that does not sound like a lot but it is at least a ‘step in the right direction’.
The 11 inch snowstorm of 2 weeks ago has melted down to about 3 inches. One of the ‘locals’ told us when we moved here in ’08 that only once a decade does Miltonvale get to enjoy a White Christmas. Last Christmas we had a measly inch of snow that melted the next day. (Why have a white Christmas when the kids can’t sled in it?) Now, the forecast for the rest of this week seems to assure that North Central Kansas will be having a REAL White Christmas this year. (Don’t you just love Global Warming?) The approaching storm is supposed to start with a coat of ice Tuesday evening that according to the forecasters could bring some power outages, but then through Wednesday and Thursday drop 5 to 10 inches of Christmas Cheer. (Now that’s ‘sledable’!!!!!) For sure we’ll have to put snow chains on dad’s wheelchair tires for a few days this week.
On a more serious note, a few readers have responded to the last several postings with offers to help mom and dad financially. From our hearts, thank you for your thoughtfulness. If you do not know their address and would like to contribute to them please email me at mahinalive@gmail.com and I’ll get their address to you.
More Later.
Thanks for stopping by.
