Nancy, Russ and Becca visited Gordon after the funeral of Paul de Payne, the husband of Marion's cousin Arlene Godfrey Payne. Gordon was having a good day and sat on the couch in the big room visiting with them for half an hour. He was awake and lucid with only occasionaly asking who Russ was. It is always intertaining to watch him interact with the women who come in the big room and most of the time he just chuckles at their antics. One woman thought Russ and Becca were from a town near Vernal and asked about all the people she used to know. Gordon is good to answer any questions you ask him but doesn't offer many comments to start conversations. He does love small children and adores when people bring babies for him to hold. He like to be sung to and when Kaisa ( his great grand-daughter) played the piano he commented that he had died and gone to heaven.

I wanted to agree with how much Grandpa perks up when you bring small kids around. When we brought Mallory (3) and Max (1), they where the entertainment of the whole room and Max made the rounds from Grandma to Grandma to Grandpa which delighted everyone. I just love how he kept telling us that our kids were the picture of health and that we ought to have ten of them. I say, if you want to visit grandpa but are afraid of not having much to talk about, bring a baby of your own (or your neighbor's) and the time will fly!
