Thank you Mary Beth for sending all these great pictures!
Dad at the nursing home - seems to be getting entertained this morning and is very amused at what they are telling him.

Dad's Room Decorations
At the Poplar House-Sisters
Eric with us-Man! Does he make us look even shorter or WHAT!?!?!
This arrangement reminded us of the Nursery Rhyme -"Goldilocks & The 3 Bears"
Papa Bear's chair, Mama Bear's Chair and Baby Bear's chair-hehe!
Oh well, we thought it was amusing-to us anyway!
Furniture
Well, I think I need a bigger house.UMMM! maybe another house, with all the furniture. I drew this arrangement
along with the matching chair that goes with the sofa, a Lane Cedar Chest, some shelves, and all the dishes, and etc.
This was Mother's Bathing Suit, and she looked great in it too!
Mother's wedding dress and veil! I had my wedding dress made just like her dress. Mrs. Lillie Edgar made it for me and asked Mother, "How much did it cost you to have this dress made (in 1949)? Mother told her "$25.00" and Mrs. Edgar said, "Okay, that will be $25.00." Can you believe that!?!? WOW!! And Mother had sewed all the beading on my dress too!
I am in Dad's Robe
and then Cathie is showing off Mothers "Grass Skirt" Dad had brought back from the Phillipines.
Top and bottoms to Mothers Pajamas
This is a letter Dad had written to his parents, brothers and sister.
Eric and Natalie
The following is what happens when you are feeling a little stressed and anxious
and then take someone else's "Feel Good" meds.
Thank you! Mary Beth for documenting the above. HEHEHE!
I am sure you won't let me forget this and yes, Mary Beth,
that is my KNEE and not my NOSE!!
OH MY! Who are these "HO HO HO"s ??
And they look like they are up to NO GOOD too!
Now, Back to see Dad at the Nursing Home on Monday!
Monday evening, Mary Beth and Cathie stopped by our home, This was the 1st time seeing our home since we built it - for Mary Beth.
so she snapped a few pics
Maybe next time, most of my "junk" will be in the "barn" that we are in the planning stages of building-in the very near future-I am hoping, very very near.
I was trying to hide my glass of ...shhh!!...wine. I will have to remember, Landon Winery, "Yellow Rose", a sweet white wine (But not that sweet). I usually don't drink white, I love reds, but my Friend- Dixie- suggested it and voila! Perfect!! Thank you, mam- it is fantastic.
Mary Beth like my "Star" furniture too! and snapped a few.
Until next time Mary Beth -
It was great to see you and visit with you, Cathie, Gayle, Eric and Natalie. It was a "stressful" time trying to divide Mom and Dad's things, but it needed to be done. Now, that is "1" less thing that we don't need to think about. I know, there is still so much to go through - we are not finished. But it was a start.
