Grandma Harper

Rich's grandmother passed away this morning. She was 92 and has been suffering from dementia for years. It was so sad to see her...she was always so confused.

But my favorite story about Grandma was when she got a new roommate at the nursing home a few years ago. The newbie liked to watch television. Grandma did not. There was a tussle...Grandma would turn off the tv. Newbie would turn it back on. Finally, without a word, Grandma took out her scissors and cut the cord to the then "on" television. Needless to say, gutsy Grandma enjoyed a single room from then on.

We don't have details yet about the funeral but we'll be travelling to Michigan later this week. Meanwhile, I'm hustling to get the next update in place and ready to publish before we leave. The sun refuses to shine today so I'm hoping for a sunny day tomorrow.
