Day 3--OK

Everyone stayed the night at Grandma and Grandpa’s last night, except Nita and Vernon who stayed at a hotel. In the evening, I was craving a Sonic Coney, so Mom, Sue, and I went into town, but not before Grandpa had a chance to steal Mom’s keys. She finally bargained with him and got the keys back in exchange for a burger from Sonic. On the way back, we stopped at “Goober Peas” (GC1EFO virtual) and had Sue take our photo to post for the cache. It began raining, but we decided to try one more cache since we had travel bugs to place. We made two approaches to “Freedom!” (GCJGA7 traditional), but we gave up due to the high grass, the rain, and the possibility of rattle snakes. And I even had the perfect key chain for the travel bug, an Uncle Sam PEZ Flashlight.

When we got back to the house, Mom, Sue, Nita, and Grandma sang Found a Peanut” to me since I was unfamiliar with it. Grandpa kept interjecting with “Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!” Apparently his caretaker had recently set him up to say “ouch!” every time the nurse’s touched him. I think he knew he would get laughs. At an earlier time, he put his feet up on the dinner table and got in trouble, so I offered him my chare to put his feet on. Grandma said, “Well say ‘thank you’ honey.” And he said “Thank you honey” with a grin on his face.

The first night we were here, Grandpa stared at the clock for ten minutes until 10:00pm when her raised his right hand in the air. Mom and I went with the flow and put our hands in the air too. Grandma and Foy were getting annoyed, saying “What are you looking at?’ “What are you doing?” It’s sad because I know that there’s something going on in his head, but he doesn’t communicate.

Sue and Bill and Netta and the kids went home this evening. Donya was supposed to come down to get Cora, but she called in the afternoon and said she couldn’t afford it, so we didn’t get to see them.
