Louise is Gone

My step-mother in law Louise passed away this morning of Covid. She was a funny, classy lady and I'm honored to have known her and call her family. Rest in peace Lou. I love you. :(

Visiting Louise

Junie and I visited Louise K today.  She was in good spirits and coherent,  but did talk about wanting some things for her house, which was sad.  Still,  it was great to see her.

A Visit

I visited my stepmother in-law Louise K today. She was lucid and talkative (180 degrees different than last time) and it was a pleasant visit. She really wanted to buy candy so I went to add some money to her account (she might have a billion in there already, idk) but the staff were knobs and demanded it in check form - who carries checks to a nursing home? - so I went to Walgreen's and bought her three boxes of Good N Plenty. I think I now have a fan for life.

A Visit with Louise for her Birthday!

After returning from the camp and enjoying an early dinner, Lisa and I went to visit Louise K for her birthday! She looked great and was very alert :)

Two Visits

Before dinner Lisa and YaYa went to visit Lisa's stepmom, and I called my Dad and sister and visited my Mom in the hospital, bringing her a picture Junie drew, a coloring book YaYa picked out, and deviled eggs OJ made her for the holiday.

A Visit to Louise

 Went to visit Lisa's stepmom at the nursing home. Here's a drawing Junie made for her. Kudos to YaYa for stepping up: she not only picked out a Valentines card for Louise, she got nail supplies and offered to do her nails, (Louise said no, preferring to get acrylics), and pushed her wheelchair.

My Day

YaYa & I went to Marquette to buy two books for the upcoming semester. Cost? Around $300, plus the cost of a parking ticket. Then we picked up Smiley and went to visit Louise, followed by a stop at Toys R Us, where I ran into Mike C. The kids were shocked I knew someone, because I am, of course, a social leper. Finally a stop at Walmart, where the last scooter was taken by a huge woman with no cane/crutch/brace, which certainly gives her priority over the guy hobbling around on a crutch and a surgically repaired hip.

But - Joe McIntyre is on Angel from Hell on Fox!

Victory baby!

Was out at the grocery store with Lisa's step-mom when a stock boy broke the news of the Packers' win against the Cowboys. (It wasn't a catch Dez!!)

 I take full credit, as today I wore a Packers shirt for the first time in my adult life. 

You're welcome Wisconsin.

My mother-in-law paid Junie a buck to be quiet during the Packer game. "It was very hard, but I did it!" Junie proudly told me. LOL Classic!

LOL, she was so very good this weekend, but it was a Packer game...

Sendik's

Spending the afternoon taking Lisa's step-mom on errands. Currently outside Sendik's. I refuse to go in and join them. Any grocery store that can afford wall to wall carpeting is too Ritchie Rich to want me as a customer.
