Treat or Endoplasmic Reticulum . . .

Emma and I went to Petrolia tonight to Trick or Treat. Yes, it is November the 2nd. But family will treat you even if you're late. We went to see Nanny first. She gave Emma the usual, candy with some muffins and clementine oranges. Emma loved it all. We then went to Grandma Mayo's house with Nanny in tow. Grandma doesn't eat much anymore, but she always has candy. Grandma knew who we were and today was a good day. She misses Granddad so much now that she often goes back in time to the thirties, forties, and fifties. Today she was with us. I seem to catch her on her good days. I dread the day that I don't. I don't look forward to her not knowing me or Emma. Emma is starting to be afraid of her. I think it is due to her slurred speech or even garbled words. I miss our conversations. The last time we really spoke she told me about her first date with Granddad. They went to the Lake Wichita Resort. They danced and rode the paddle boats. She seemed so happy to remember those days.
Back to tonight. After Grandma's house, we went to Aunt Jill's. Aunt Jill also had treats for the latecomers, but the girls were working on homework. Alaina was creating an animal cell for science class. The whole family became interested. It was fun to spend time with Alaina, Abby, Jill, Emma and Mom. We had a good time.
