I had a nice weekend. Friday I went min golfing and to HH. got home about 6 or so, had one O'Doul's and it was pretty nasty.
Saturday I did some cleaning of the babies room and cleaned out the closet. Saturday night Adam and I went to olive garden, babies r us, and rented a movie. New in Town with Renee Zellwigger, it was filmed in New Ulm good movie. We got the movie The Rocker, too but the disk was scratched so we couldn't watch it.
I went to see Lilly yesterday. She is doing pretty good. She didn't really know who I was. She said I wasn't Mandy cuz Mandy doesn't have Long Hair... I just let her talk about people from the past than I have no idea who they are. She tried to go into someone else's room and steal chocolate, I had to stop her and she was like a kid. I got home from there around 3 or so. Whenever I make the trip to Taylor's Falls, it is like a trip down memory lane. We visited grandma Lilly a lot when we were little and I will never forget the smell of her farm house at 20060 ST. Croix Trail North. Her house never changed from year to year, and smelt of wood burning stove. That was her hobby,keeping that wood stove plump full of wood. The old chicken coop was turned into the "wood shed." Lilly was the best cook, baker, and grandma ever. I never thought Alzheimer's would make her this "helpless." I can still see the good ol' Lilly in her though. She is still one to crack jokes and make funny comments. Grandpa Harold died in 1987 when I was 6, so I never got a chance to bond with him as much as I did Lilly. Erick and I are her only grandchildren but we love her as much as 30 grandchildren would.
