Make lemonade out of lemons.

My Heart

We're stringing good days together lately. Yesterday was another pearl on this neckless we're making. Boring it good, and at the same time, its boring.

She was up earlier then normal, 2 hours earlier. I've put together the concept that, like a baby that gets wet and wakes up, the simplest thing to do is change and put back to bed. When she walks into my office at these early hours, that is what I do. She my complain or rattle on about something, but when she sees the bed, in she goes, and off to night, night land. 

When we got home after golf, had our lunch, she got irritated, which isn't normal. Again, after lunch, I took her to the back bedroom, and as she jabbered on about the boys, in she went, and I got another hour of rest. 

This nap after lunch is something new, and I just wonder is her battery starting to run low, and she needs that recharging time? 

In trying to find things to be thankful for, a thought came to me, diarrhea. From what I understand is that diarrhea is a symptom, condition, that Alzheimer patient suffer with. That alone, the absentees of it, is something to be grateful. 

That is one of the reasons I love spending time on the Road to Dementia Town with my Driver. He is the one that can make lemonade out of lemons. It doesn't mean that I won't have that situation later in life, it is away of preparing me for it. He knows when to speed up, or to slow down and look at something I've never seen before, a way of framing something new. Now, I'm ready for another day of riding on the passenger's side, sitting back, enjoying the view, of course, wearing my cool sunglasses, as me and Driver head down to Dementia Town. And you know, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. If your troubled, unhinged, restless, scoot over to the passenger side, and let your Driver take over. He knows the road ahead, and will Keep Your Shiny Side Up. See you on the road, take care, 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...
