Hey, from Texas

We are back from Louisiana. Were so tickled to see Mom & Dad and their new place. Pat, it was good visiting with you and Jerry...loved the grandbaby pictures. As soon as we walked in we could hear Mom's voice so we knew we were in the right place. Walked in and she was talking about cooking and told us to get a sack and fill it up with all of the good things that she had cooked. She was really wound up....really talking and waving her hands all around. Pat told us that she had been trying to take this lady's blanket...thought it was a tablecloth for all of her food, I guess. We thought the place was nice...loved the smallness of it, the way that they were treating Mom and Dad, how clean it was and I didn't think it smelled. You all really did a good job of finding a good place for them...they seemed to be happy there. Dad said the food was good and you got plenty to eat...and good snacks. We stayed until they were about to eat. The worker put a bib around Mom's neck...she looked up at me and said isn't it pretty...he gave it to me (pointing to Dad). I like the idea of just using the love seat instead of getting Dad a recliner....both can sit together. As we were leaving she called my name and asked was I going home. (The last times that I have seen them she has never called my name or acted like she knew me.) Randall said he had to go take care of Ona and Dad looked up and grinned and said that's a full time job isn't it and grinned. It broke my heart just walking out and leaving them there...cried and cried. It will be sooooo sad cleaning out their house!!!! See you in April...Love, Ona (I remembered to sign it this time!!!!!)
