Grandpa Wicks

Grandpa Norman Wicks - 89 years young

 Last month Grandpa Wicks gave us a scare.  He had pneumonia that lasted for a few weeks.  Thank goodness for Glenn's cousins Cindy and Kevin who take care of Grandpa.  Cindy had him move in with her for the illness, and it was pretty scary.

So after Grandfather got better, Glenn wanted to go down and see him.  Cindy, Kevin and Ardel had talked Grandpa into moving into a residential home, and giving it a try.  We were going to go down last weekend, but they were moving then and suggested this week would be better.

 So we called Jeff, and asked him if he wanted to travel down to Roseburg with us to visit for the day.  And in the way of happy accidents, our visit coinsided with Glenn's cousin's youngest daughter being baptized, and both Aunt Diana and Aunt Lori being in Roseburg.  So we were able to visit with a large group of family that we do not get to see often enough.

 After the baptism, Kevin and Rachel hosted a BBQ at Cindy's house for family and friends.  We were thrilled to be included, and have this opportunity to see everyone.  We also discovered that there is a big celebration planned for September to celebrate Grand Father's 90th birthday.  So, we will get to see everyone again then.
