We had a great visit with the kids. They decided to show up this weekend just to visit and encourage all of us. Katy was a lot of fun and uplifted all of us. She says the cutes things!

At lunch, Katy sat by Pop, she acts shy around him but as I watched they were communicating with their eyes. Pop would wink at her and she would smile. But then Pop did the famous 'ear wiggling' for her and Katy just watched and then put her hands over her ears. Later I asked Katy what was Pop doing to you? "He was wiggling his ears!" I hope Katy will remember that about her great-grandpa.

Each day Pop is getting a little weaker. He is in the wheelchair most of the time now. Thanks goodness they got a lift chair for him, that has saved mother's back! We are looking into some kind of home care. Thankfully I can run over and stay with him while she goes to the store. We don't think he would get up by himself, but he really isn't thinking to clearly these days.
