Well, today I spent most of the day at the hospital. Grandpa is fighting an infection and it's taking a lot out of him. I do have to say that the level of care he is getting at this hospital is above and beyond what he was getting at the other hospital. And that is a real comfort to me. Hopefully he can get better soon and get back to the nursing home he was at for just a day (if even that long).
While I was listening to Grandpa snore away ;-) I started reading a book from the library. It's called Diary of a German War Bride by Trudy McFarland. It's pretty fascinating so far. Trudy has published her mother's diaries that were started when Barbara was seven years old. What I find fascinating so far is the fact that my great-great grandmother on mom's side of the family was a German immigrant and I feel like these might be things she felt or did or had issues with. My Grandma had told me once that her grandmother didn't want to teach her kids and grandkids German because we live and America and English is our language...and this is one of the things in Barbara McFarland's diaries.
Then I thought about all of the blogs out there and the fact that these are online diaries/journals that the Internet has allowed us to publish ourselves for everyone or no one to read and I think that's pretty cool. There are a lot of bloggers out there and I love to read what they have to say. Mostly for the decorating tips, fashion advice or recipes...but sometimes for the fun of seeing what other families are like.
I guess this isn't just blogs, but facebook, Twitter and all of the others. There is a friend on facebook that posts an online journal of the fun things her boys do and say and I love to read her daily posts. She is a wonderful mother!
Tomorrow I promise to post the back door rock rug that was my weekend project but until then, Good night.
