Jeff and I drove to Tahlequah, Oklahoma this past weekend to visit my grandparents. They are 87 years old and live in a Christian retirement community called Go Ye Village. They are currently in the assisted living wing. We are very happy with the care that they get at Go Ye Village; the nurses and employees are all so sweet and helpful.
We took Grandpa for a pretty long walk Saturday morning while Grandma napped, then took them both to do some errands in the afternoon. While out, we drove through a big state park. Grandpa mentioned that he would love to get out and walk through the woods, so we stopped. Jeff found a mowed fire lane and Jeff and Grandpa took a walk through the woods. (Grandma and I stayed in the car.) Grandpa told us later that he hadn't walked that much in probably 2 years...but he wasn't complaining!!
I have a lot of memories of my grandparents. They lived just a few blocks from me while growing up. Often times we would stop at Grandma and Grandpa's house for this or that and I could always find Grandpa in the workshop in his garage. Then I'd go in the house where Grandma was working in the kitchen to get a cooking from the cookie jar. I have many memories of my Grandparents. In my next post, I'll tell a few of my favorite memories.
