Big dog pulling at the leash.

Just us.

As I look back at the fun we had, at the places we visited, the joy that I had just being with her. Now these sights, these pictures don't mean a thing to her. They are foreigners in her mind. Sometimes she can see herself, but has no idea who is with her. I can tell her that I'm her husband and that has no meaning, no place of reference. What it does, it is a reminder of who I am and what I promised to do. 

We've been watching the movie, "Onward" lately. The reason for watching it is two fold, one I like it, and second, Sweetie likes it too. When I find something that she smiles about or gets emotional with, at the right times, I'll watch it over and over again, just to watch her react to it. 

Yesterday, by accident, we found out the mall was open for business. I was just so happy, because now we could return there for our walks. I was surprised, yet at the same time, not, as to how empty the mall was. Not just of people, but of those small businesses that cluttered the mall. The football paraphernalia, and a jewelry stands were gone. Only time will tell as to who will replace these entrepreneurs. It was good to see my state finally opening up. 

It seems that while we are walking at the mall, keeping Sweetie going is going to be my next challenge. Every time she saw an exit out of there, she was ready to go. I kept telling her one more time, or that wasn't the right one to use. When we did head out, she was like a big dog pulling at the leash. It was time to go. Where it didn't matter, just go.  

Got home, she headed for bed, nap time. I'm enjoying the solitude I have when she is down for her nap. It doesn't appear to be disrupting her night time sleep, though she is getting up earlier than normal. Just deal with it. 

"Morning Mr. Driver, and yes, I'm ready to hit the road." That is it for today, time to get back on the Road to Dementia Town. My Driver has the car cleaned, waxed and gassed up. Don't know which road we will take, Driver knows so many more than I will ever think of. Each one is new every morning, and He has promised me that is the way they will be, new every morning. Out of the house, into the car, putting my cool sunglasses on, and we're gone. Hope to see you on the Road to Dementia Town, you'll know us, we've got our Shiny Side Up. Don't let yesterday get you down, for today has the same promise it has for me, it is new every morning, and with that in hand, you too can drive down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping Your Shiny Side Up. Drive carefully, Take Care, Love Ya, and God Bless.
