We had a very nice visit with Aunt Marj yesterday in the nursing home in Salt Lake City. She was quite perky! We arrived to find her in her wheel chair in the common room with my cousin Kathy. My sister Eileen came a few minutes later. Shortly after that my cousin Merrill and his wife Jean arrived. A few minutes later my cousin Perry and his wife Linda came in. It was almost a family reunion! Aunt Marj enjoyed the company which literally wore her out. She’s very frail as the picture of mother and her shows. She had been sleeping for the past couple of days without eating or drinking anything. She did eat a little yesterday afternoon but I’m sure that she slept through until sometime today after all the visitor’s yesterday. I took quite a few pictures, some of which will eventually go onto the picture album, but this was a very nice picture of the two sisters together.
One thing about Salt Lake that I do not miss is the traffic. We left the nursing home about 4:45 p.m. to drive to North Salt Lake to Heather’s house for dinner. We finally got there at 6:35 p.m. It literally took longer to drive the fifteen miles from the nursing home to Heather’s house than it took to drive the hundred and ten miles from Heather’s house to our home in Pocatello later yesterday evening. We were quite happy to get home!
