Thursday Afternoon 

I received my morning call to make sure I was still coming by today. When I arrived Chuck was sound asleep on the couch, deepest sleep I have ever seen him in -that at first I thought maybe he was dead. The front room smelled like urine, not sure if it was Grandpa or coming from the bathroom. I brought Shirley some flowers in celebration of their Anniversary and she was thrilled. After being there for about 10 minutes Chuck woke up and seemed pretty happy, I helped him up and he teeter-tottered over to the kitchen table. Melissa arrived and we ate lunch. Boy oh' boy does Shirl love Cafe Rio (you know Eric used to bring it to them all the time when they lived there-she told me about 5 times) . Grandpa ate quite a bit and I think Shirl was a little disappointed that he ate as much as he did because she wanted to finish his. I was amazed by the way SHE ate that salad, I can see where my Dad and I get our food issues. She commented several times that she was full but she couldn't stop because she loved it so much. She was in love with that salad. I think if she could have she would have married it. I was worried she might accidently eat her arm. Anywho back to Chuck-After Grandpa was done eating he stood up and said thank you for the meal as he teeter-tottered back to his couch. I said no problem, please come again. He fell back asleep right away. After chitchatting for awhile we headed out and Grandpa woke up just in time to say goodbye. We heard the same-leaving so soon? You don't have to go do you? Maybe I should start bringing the boys more often and they can act crazy and then she'll actually be happy were leaving so soon.
