From the family email update archives, Nonnie in Chilli. June of 2003 was the last time Pam's grandma traveled the 1200+ miles from Miami to come see us. She stayed for a week in Erin's bedroom and we really cherish that visit. Life was a lot different for us in those days. It was a lot different for Mary as well. 7 months after her visit she found herself on her death bed (Jan. 04). Pam flew to spend the week with her in the hospital. She managed to recover but life changed for her from that point on. Within a year or so she ended up moving out of her condo on Biscayne Bay into a "retirement" village and even stopped driving.

Nonnie in Chilli


Wednesday was spent hanging out at the house and eating. Today, Thursday, we realized that Nonnie is capable of more than doing hair with the girl, playing patient to Erin's doctor, and posing nicely by beautiful flowers. Her energy level seemed more like that of a 65 year old, so we put her to work.

Talk to you later.
Rick
