Delaware Disaster...how can there be a disaster at the beach?

Well, Friday Greg and I scooped up Emmi and a few bags and drove on up to Deleware. I was sooo looking forward to a vacation and to seeing Grandma. We were very tired and only wanted to sleep as soon as we got there but ooooh nooooo that didn't happen at all. We pull up, I go to where dad keeps the key and to my utter surprise...it wasn't there! Panick...did you say panick! YES I PANICKED! So Greg decided to see if a window was open, then I walked across the street to the cat ladies house and she wasn't home. First thought.....WE'D HAVE TO DRIVE 3 HOURS BACK! Uuugggh! So we proceeded to Aunt Patty's (or Grandma's house) and I woke her up to ask her if she had a key to dads. "Sure, yeah I have one." She sleepily tries to put on her jeans and well, she struggled with that for a long time. Then she stumbles into the living room walking on a wooden floor with no carpet and boards sticking up, and she hands me grandma's key. Ummm, no I was talking about Dad's...oh, I don't have that but let me try Grandma's key for you. Yep this is it, here ya go! I took it, said thank you, gave her a hug and left.

We drove up and down route one looking for a cheap, sleazy motel that would take pets for cheap. We drove into Lewes...lots of sleazy motels but NO PETS. Found one finally up Route one called the Red Mill Inn. I walked into the room with a nice wiff of something bad and was just so happy to find a place for cheap. We pretty much crashed through the night at 7pm but woke up to thumping and banging in the room above us. When we awoke at 9am, packed up and left to check out, we discovered a nice cigarette butt on Greg's car and a beer can on our window sill. Luckily the cigarette didn't burn a hole but it made us pretty mad. We complained to the hotel person and left.

Next stop before going home early....GRANDMA! I was so happy to see her but nervous to go into a nursing home. I walked into her room and waved at her with a big smile. She sat there as if she had no idea who I was. When I got closer to her she smiled and gave me a big hug then proceeded to tell me how she was a good girl and made her bed and cleaned up. She was normal though which made me very very happy.

The only wierd thing at the nursing home that I experienced was the roommate with no pants on. She showed me a plastic baby and told me that its mother dropped him off and asked her to watch him. Then the mother came back and told her to keep him. She said it broke her heart and seriously was tearing up! She held it very gently and said in a high pitched mothers type voice..."I'm gonna drop you!"..."I'm gonna drop you!" Grandma looked at me and rolled her eyes. She said real loud...You would think that baby was alive! The lady then told me how its a shame the baby was born that way but he never needed diapers changed and he never needed to be fed...only loved...WOW!

We went home, worked on the house, and watched Karate Kid III and the Next Karate Kid. I love those movies! I made Greg watch Glory with me while I sipped on a Yeungling before going to bed.

Very fulfilling weekend!
