I'm home alone tonight and enjoying the quiet. Dennis took his step-mom to the baseball game. She's 86 years old and has never been to a professional baseball game before. She's as excited as a little kid! She was ready to go at 3:00 this afternoon. I got such a kick out of her! I'm sure they will have a great time.
Marj arrived on Thursday. We were right there to greet her but surprised when she came down the elevator in a wheelchair instead of down the escalator. She had to walk quite a distance when she changed planes in Los Angeles and so she didn't have anything left by the time she got to Ontario. She was able to walk out to the car because we were lucky to find a spot very close to Baggage Claim.
I hadn't see her in 6 years. Dennis made a trip to Idaho 2 years ago to see her and an uncle that lives near her. She has slowed down some but I think she does remarkably well for her age. She doesn't have a very good short term memory and will ask me about something and then an hour or so later will ask about it again. Her sense of humor and positive attitude is as wonderful as ever. She has had us laughing more than a few times with her quick witted remarks.
Tomorrow we are having Family Day which will be a lot of fun. Bryan, Shannon and the kids will be here and so will Sam and Cari. Marj hasn't seen Bryan since he was about 15 years old so they have a lot to catch up on. She is looking forward to meeting Shannon and the children. Last night, it was so nice outside that Cari, Sam, Marj and I sat out on the patio talking until nearly 9:00. It was nice that she got to have time with Cari and Sam so tomorrow she can focus on Bryan's family a little more.
I'll post pictures of the event soon.
