A day of Easter Eggs.

At the Grand Canyon for our Anniversary. 

Thank you for the Anniversary messages, they are precious to me. 

I'm happy, yet again, I'm sad because we didn't do this sooner. When we went to the Grand Canyon for our 30th Anniversary, Sweetie's Dementia was just starting to affect our daily lives. There were so many sites that I want to show her and could not. She was starting to build that wall between normal and Dementia crazies. We have pictures, we have mementoes, and she can't remember any of it. 

Yesterday, Sweetie, for what ever reason, was up 2 hours earlier than normal. We got our day off by going for a long walk after breakfast. Spent time watching birds come to the feeders, watching the clouds, and now that some restrictions have been lifted, jet contrails. She like them because, I think, she can see the movement of the jet across the sky. I tell her that they are sky writers, and she likes that.

I thought it would be a good day to get Tweetie out and go for a drive. Put the top down and took off. I soon realized that the weather was too cool for her, so we put the top back up. I know a road that is about 35 miles of country, so we headed for it. Down a around the country side we went. Honking at a train, which honked back. We were gone for about an hours. There were times that I wanted to put my foot into it, but if I did, it would scare her and ruin our outing. Lets face it, I'm making memories for later and I don't want a memory ruined by my childness of bad driving. 

Because she was up earlier than normal, she wanted to go back to bed sooner than normal. I had to gentle nudge her into staying up. As a reward, I made a cholate banana ice cream sundae for us. She, as she devoured it, kept telling me she didn't know what how to do it. I was so happy with the way it disappeared.

Driver had prepared me for yesterday, and I was glad He did. Putting the good report of Easter Eggs ahead was a double joy. Easter Eggs, the whole day, the drive, the walking, the ice cream, and just a hint of sundowners. What is on the roster for today, I have no idea, this I do know, I will spend the time with my Driver as we travel the Road to Dementia Town. Each day with some replays from the past, and new adventures ahead. And, as always, Keeping our Shiny Side Up as we go. Hey, that goes for you, may your day be sprinkled with Easter Egg dust from the past, and new and exciting adventures for today, as we both travel the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Love Ya, and God Bless.
