Yes, this is late. But not really. See, I did actually do all this and take the pictures on the 12th. But they were on my mom's and sister's camera and I had to wait to get the pictures. Because we've been a little busy around here.
On the 12th of October my sister and I were at my mom's helping out knowing that it would be a matter of days before Papa passed away. He ended up passing away the next day.
So here it goes:

I made soft boiled eggs. Ben wanted a soft boiled egg for breakfast that day and I had never made a soft boiled egg before. It turned out just the way he liked it.

I took the garbage out.

I looked in my Entertainment Book to see if there were any coupons good in the Coos Bay area.

I read this book, Coos County the Early Years. I love reading about the early days of Coos Bay, back when it was called Marshfield not Coos Bay.

I went to UPS to mail the Star Wars concert tickets to Chris. I had won them on the radio and was hoping to surprise Chris with them and go together. I was in Coos Bay the night of the concert so I mailed them and he went on a man date with a friend.

I had to go to a Chase bank to make a deposit and the nearest one was in Myrtle Point, 25 miles away. So we went.

On our way back home we stopped in Coquille at this little place to buy some baked potatos for lunch. Odd place to buy a baked potato but I was assured that they were fantastic.

We bought a head of cauliflower while we were there.

I made grilled ham and cheese for lunch. I made it for mom but Ben ended up eating half of hers and I had to make another. He ate really well for a dying man!

The cat and I took a nap.

We met with Hospice. Two social workers came and a nurse.

We went to Penny and Robin's house. They are good friends with my parents.

That sandwich looks really good. Can you tell I'm prego?
Sounds like you took good care of things while you were out there! You're a good daughter!
I think I tell you this every time, but I LOVE these posts. They are so fun. And you look adorable!
Love the random post!And, just a note...I LOVE grilled ham and cheese sandwich's:0)
I love the fact that we can read this now and think things like, "he ate really well for a dying man". You were making him his last meals and were probably not really aware of it. You will probably never make soft boiled eggs or ham and cheese sandwiches again without thinking of Ben. Had he passed a couple days later the "memory fare" would have been different. Just interesting in retrospect.
I'm proud of you for taking a nap! You so deserve it.
