We went to church with Grandma B & Grandma K this morning, then relaxed for a while in the afternoon. Jamie was pretty excited to see some new calves being brought in (he’s obsessed with farm animals – especially cows & horses). He wasn’t in a mood to be photographed.

We got to the ranch late last night. The boys were excited to find their beds in the attic & went right to sleep. We made pancakes in the morning for breakfast & then the boys went exploring. It is so nice to visit with Grandma K – she is doing well.
Later in the afternoon, we went to Red’s Tapas for a tasty lunch & then picked up some chocolates & ice cream @ Drost’s Chocolates in Eckert (love their “bear claw” – it’s a turtle made with cashews in place of pecans). Maryanne made baked mac & cheese for dinner.

Bryan got up early with Rees and made sourdough pancakes for everyone for breakfast. They were excellent as usual. The kids and I watched a movie in the car while Bryan visited with Grandma. Today she has more energy and is more alert. She is still very much herself. She told Bryan she would kill him if he damaged her sourdough starter (it’s been alive for many decades). We were talking about the possibility of her being able to swallow, when she said, “I could swallow if they would just give me something to swallow!”
We had lunch at Fiesta Vallarta in “downtown” Delta. I have to admit that I love this kind of Americanized Mexican food (much like Los Hermanos in Utah Valley). The food was yummy but the portions were enormous.
We picked up our stuff from the ranch and went back to the hospital for our last visit this trip. Grandma was still sleepy, but talking well. Still no movement on her right side. The doctors were hoping for more improvement by now. Tomorrow a speech therapist will visit to determine what she is able to swallow. Maryanne has effectively moved to Cedaredge to care for Grandma for as long as it takes, so we said our goodbyes to her for now as well.
The drive back to SLC was uneventful and nice.
