Alex came to visit before he left for his bike trip across america. We're praying he will make it across safely with lots of good memories. We love you Al!

While he was here I took a personal day from work and we went up to Portland to visit grandma in the home. Without too many words... I'll just say it was an adventure. We were barked at by a resident, I was dragged down the hall by the same old lady in a desperate attempt to an escape. We painted grandma's nails with pink glittery polish and followed a squirrel with grandma in a wheel chair and alex held her for 15 minutes in a wrestling hold trying to lower her into her chair. It made for good times and a few good laughs afterwards. I have such a heart for those who can work in places like that on a daily basis. I couldn't do it and appreciate it so much. Grandma looked good but had a little difficulty taking her medicine and was a little distracted by passing by cars... otherwise we had a good time.
