Jerry and I got up yesterday morning and drove over to see Mom and Dad..only took us 2hrs and 30 minutes and that was getting stuck behind a couple of slow movers and road construction on 155.  Dad didn't know me at first...Linda said "Look who I found in the hall! Do you know who this is?"  Dad said NO.  Then he said "Jeanie" I said something like that's close! Then Dad said no that's Jamer Cay.  He looked good and he did pretty well carrying on conversations..he and Jerry talked about the Cardinals and Albert getting hurt, they talked Army and Jerry retiring and the hot weather.  He ate about half his meal..but Linda said he had eaten a big breakfast of sausage and biscuits. He talked about cigarettes and tried to stand up to look for them in his pocket I guess.  He was tired after lunch and laid down to take a nap.  Mom ate really well...but never really woke up.  Can't believe how round her face is..she looked more like Aunt Ernie did when they came to Jonesboro that Summer.  She responded to Linda when she talked to her,but I could never really get a response.  Jerry was pleased with the facility..thought things were very clean, the staff very attentive and the food looked and smelled good.   Their room was clean.. beds made and things picked up.  It was a good visit over all and not a bad drive...found the way back onto 94 from 51 so that was good! Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th.  We're doing house things today and nothing tomorrow(our little reward for work today)!  Love you all,  Jamie ps..girls night/weekend in August sounds great! Can't wait!
