G&G Goodman

We had a nice visit this evening with Grandpa Harry and Grandma Rita. Our kiddos gave them the family updates and Afton showed off her newest duct tape wallet - custom made with some new and improved features over last week's model. G&G were duly impressed. It was pretty cute to watch. They both reported that they were having good days and feeling pretty well, but confessed that some days are better than others. It's so hard to see them getting so old, but really, I think they're doing pretty darn good for 95 and 93. The last couple of years have really slowed them down compared to their late 80's and early 90's when they were still getting out occasionally and coming over for Sunday dinners. I asked Grandma Rita if they had any big summer vacation plans and she got a good laugh. I run by their house several times each week in the wee morning hours and always pray that they will be comforted and know how much they are loved...

  1. When we visit, Hannah always plays hot potato with Grandma with those squishy spidery ball things. It's a hoot. I love it when she starts laughing. You guys should take her to Rocky Point this summer. She'd love that - as would her skin :)

  2. Good job visiting. I need to go more. I love them so much, and although it is hard to see them age, it's cool. They are OLD. Let's make sure they get to see us all on both the good days, and the days where they think little boys are girls, that Jimmy's kid is Mark's kid, or that Karrie is a stranger. Thanks Kelli for the sweet reminder.
