Labor Day 2018
Sep. 4th, 2018 10:19 pmGot back yesterday from Otis. Sunday was Gramp's 91st birthday. He told Chrissy he didn't want to go to the fair for the first time ever that I am aware with the exceptions of years he was too sick to go. Instead we had a birthday picnic for him at the house and he seemed pretty overwhelmed the whole afternoon. About a dozen relatives shows beyond Chrissy, Joe, and I. Uncle Ernie looked a lot better than the last time I saw him.
On Monday he seemed to perk up a bit when it was just he and I. We did some cleaning in his closet, mostly just getting rid of obvious junk so he has room to move around. I pushed and was successful in getting him to let me take down the old ramp on the back steps. It was really unsafe and I am glad he can't walk on it anymore. Did some research today and I think I found a way to get him a new ramp made of metal for free.
Visited Gram on the way out of town, the headstone is finally up. I was pretty upset that it took so long, but it looks very nice. I could have lived without Gramp and Joe's names already being on it, but I wasn't consulted. I didn't stay long, its all still really fresh, but it is helpful to go there I think.
While I was down there I started yet another rebuild of my website, this will be the third in the last year. My html and css is just so rusty, but this new version looks much better. I stopped trying to do fancy shit and just did the most stripped down page I could think of. Hopefully I can maintain it.
