Snow and what it did.

My Sweetie Pie.

Yesterday morning, woke to snow. It snowed most of the day, which by itself should have been fun to watch. Snow in April isn't unheard of, it is just not normal. For me it meant a challenge to keep Sweetie busy. 

She was good most of the day, and I made sure that she did her CBD and I even added the stress relief lotion. From now until June 21st will be difficult time. With the long evenings, sundowners will be at its strongest. 

Because the window I have, I get a good view of the season, the position of the sun when it comes over the Sandia's. Right now, it is like a laser beam, up over the ridge, into my room and lighting up the day. Each day, it comes up a little bit more north than the last sunrise. After June 21st, it will start it descend back south, and with it shorter days. The days may not seem shorter, they are, a few minutes less each day and by August, those minutes will add enough to shorten the evenings, that will lesson the grip of sundowners on Sweetie and me. I am looking forward to those shorter evenings this year, this winter, for I've learned and have more tools to help us through the rages of sundowners. With each passing day I keep trying new tools to help us get through this day and only this day. For I have to take each day as a special and unique day. 

Received a message from daycare, they are making plans to reopen on Monday, May 4th. Man am I looking towards that day. I don't know if the golf course will be open, if not, just being home alone for some quiet time will be welcomed. 

He's here, so early, and to tell the truth, welcomed. "Morning Driver." I know that whatever happens on our drives, I'll get something good out of it. Off we get, grabbing a jacket as I go, it is cold outside this morning. He reminded me of the Easter Eggs that were found yesterday, and, of course, he is right, there were many. Down the Road to Dementia Town we head, avoiding the pot holes as my Driver and me travel Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Not much traffic today, so we should be able to spot you as you too, drive the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping your Shiny Side Up. Love Ya, God Bless.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
