Well we woke up this morning a little later than usual at 8am (lol) and ate breakfast at the hotel. Shelley was in good spirits even though we were having to drive in to Layette to get to her doctors office for dialysis . There were so many streets and highways that i have never seen and my sense of direction is not very good at all. But we did manage to get her safely there and on time.
Once we got her checked innd back with the nurses Pepa and i decided to go get a bite to eat at KFC. We sat and visited and ate but we only killed about 45 minutes. We needed to kill about 4 hours. I suggested that we go to Walmart because i needed to get a few things. Since Pepa is still very wobbly and cant walk straight from the fall yesterday at the gas station he decided to sit on the bench at the front and wait on me. Apparently i took too long because when i came back i found him asleep on the bench. It was kinda funny but sad too at the same time.
After we picked Shell up from dialysis we decided to visit his good friend Freida who lives in Opolusus LA. We found her house fairly easily thank GOD. I needed that break for once. She was such a pretty older lady and i dint know until we got there that it is very obvious that Pepa had and still has a huge crush on her. It was so cute. He walked into her house took off his hat and stood there like a school boy with a huge grin on his face and his hands behind his back. I got pics and i will post them later since i am at the hotel and cant upload anything. Pepa of course brought his disposable camera and as we were leaving he asked if he could have a picture of just Frieda standing on her front porch. That he had imagined what she looked like standing in front of her house just like that for the past 50 years. I guess he was in love with her at one point?? I felt a strange vibe between them. I didn't know if he was gonna ask her to marry him right there or what. It was extremely awkward to say the least. So i guess me trying to be the funny person or feeling a bit uncomfortable i blurted out"Well Pepa That's Kinda Creepy". I didn't mean to say that out loud i only meant to think it but i believe that i was having a Crystal moment at that time. We stayed at Frieda's for about an hour and decided to leave.All he talked about on the way back was how beautiful she was as he stared out the window. That is so cute, but strange for me because he was married to my grandma for so long. We went to the restaurant that Frieda has suggested it was called the Jungle. It was actually very nice white table cloths and all. We had steak and seafood and then back to the hotel we went. Tomorrow is gong to be a very busy day. We are driving from Ville Platte where we are now staying to Baton Rouge to see the Capital and LSU where Pepa went to college. I am so exhausted this 85 year old almost 86 year old man is exhausting me. XOXO
