Day 123

Friday, May 5, 2023

I picked up my brother Dennis in Lincoln and we drive up to Kalispell together to see the Dailylife Dad. The rehab place is called The Retreat. Once we got in the room, we had a Facetime video call with my sister Deyanne. An “environmental” portrait. The next day Dad was moved into the assisted […]

Day 23 BIRTHDAY!

Saturday, April 29, 2023

Today in my 65th Birthday!  The Dailylife Wife got me a new ice tea maker (iced coffee too, apparently).  My old Mr. Coffee, which I got pretty close to 30 years ago or a couple more, is getting a little long in the tooth: the pitcher has some tape reinforcement on the handle and Sharpie […]

Day 112

Saturday, April 29, 2023

I found these at the Prestige assisted living where my StepMom is living now.  I would be able to spend many quiet afternoons binge reading Louis L’Amour! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 111

Saturday, April 29, 2023

I took another trip up to see the Dailylife Grandpop.  You can see Chief Mountain in this panorama! (What?  Where?) Maybe a bit better in this one.  It is that little dark point on the far right end of the mountains. The road over Marias Pass is still under construction.  I haven’t seen any workers […]

Day 109

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

The Dailylife Grandpop was looking pretty good.  The side of his face is droopy from “Bells Palsey” which is a virus.  He is getting better slowly.  The Pirate Patch helps.  Somehow.  I found him sitting up playing solitaire at the table. After exercise he went to lunch.  Most of the food is pretty good, but […]

Day 106

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

I made a day trip to Kalispell to see the Dailylife Grandpop.  A good trip, but the wet streets on my return netted a few colorful photos… Not great focus, but there ARE limits to what you can do with a cellphone while driving in traffic in the rain…   ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 105

Saturday, April 15, 2023

Granddaughter Toots (a SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!) is taking photography, and they have an actual FILM segment!  She was trying out the camera I loaned her (only two years older than her Grandpa…) and failed to understand just how much you have to wind the film after a shot…this predates the short-throw winder arm.  The […]

Day 097!

Saturday, April 8, 2023

I promised the Dailylife Grandpop I would go back up this week to give him an MP3 player with a bunch of Glenn Miller on it.  The road around Salmon Lake was torn up.  At least there were lights and pilot cars! The Dailylife Grandpop was in and out of the hospital this week.  He […]

Day 093!

Saturday, April 8, 2023

The next day he was snoozing after his breakfast.  He had a milk, orange juice, coffee, and hot chocolate on his tray! He also ate 2/3 of his sloppy joe at lunch!  He didn’t eat that much when he was still healthy! This was a quick trip to see him, and then it was back […]
