Visit with Grammy

My Grammy lives about 3.5 hours away but we haven't had a chance to get down and see her.  My Uncle was visiting her but flying out of Chicago so we drove down to see Grammy and brought him back up with us for his flight.  This allowed us some time with her and we got to spend two days with him-win, win!

Here are some pictures of our trip.  For almost 98 Grammy is doing really well health-wise but does have some trouble with her memory.  For example, she couldn't remember my dad, her oldest son, and also couldn't remember my brother.  Overall she had moments of clarity but doesn't seem to let her memory loss get her down.  I can't imagine keeping 98 years of memories in my brain!  The picture of me next to Sallee Hall is a building named after my great-grandfather Roy Sallee.  He was a biologist (!!) at Western Illinois University and they named this building after him.  When we were kids, every time we went to visit Grammy we would get our picture taken.  I was a little sad that I wasn't there with Tom and Laura this time around...

 Maybe North Central College will name a building after me?  (likely only if i donate Millions of dollars.....)
