Sundowners sneak attack.

Strawberry Funnel Cake At
Knott's Berry Farm.

I love her smile, it was one of the things that drew me to her. When she would smile, no matter what is going on, I feel good, like some burden was taken away. Even now, when we are out walking, or sitting on the couch outside, or just anywhere, when she gives me one of her heart filled smile, it goes to where I need it the most.  

Yesterday wasn't as good as it could have been. The winds were up, so we didn't get in the walking that we should of done. There is a direct correlation with walking, CBD and sundowners. I thought we had balanced her activities and Hemp Oil to keep sundowners away. We did not. 

I was surprised when she quickly took a look down the hall and said she had to go and do whatever the crazies were telling her to do. She seemed like a pacing tiger when I was hoping a walk would help. She eyed one house then another and I had to stop her at a door, thankfully it was locked. One lady talked with her for awhile, and she seemed like she was on the downside of her sundowners. 

Once I had her back home, it started back up again. This time I wouldn't let her out of the house. She wailed, and moaned about what she had to do. Finally, she went up stairs and went to bed. She wanted me to go with her, I didn't, and stayed down stairs, waiting for her to come and sit with me as her sundowners drained off. When she didn't come down, I went up to check on her, she was asleep, so I let her sleep and watch TV, alone, and it was nice. 

I know that my Driver will show me the Easter Eggs from yesterday as we sit and talk. There are times when He watches the road so intensely that I wonder if He hears me. And just like that, I hear His voice and all is well. Even in the darkest of days, I know all I have to do is call His name, and help is on the way. He is never far off, and the car is always ready for me to get into, buckle up, put on my cool sunglasses, as we motor down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Remember, when the sun comes up, it is a new morning with new adventures waiting. So, keep your eyes on the road, as you drive, Keeping your Shiny Side Up. So long for now, Love Ya, and 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...
