Sweetie is still surprising me.

At the Viet Nam War Memorial, Angel Fire NM.

 

June, the almost half way in the year. Where has it gone to. I feel a need to tell you about this picture. My old squadron had many awards and metals, among them the only Medal of Honor who was a Naval Aviator. The plaque is one that I had made and donated it to the memorial honoring Ltjg Lassen and the crew of that successful rescue. It was my way of honoring him and the men I served with. 

Now that that is over, onward to what I'm here to write about. Sweetie is still surprising me with her early waking. I don't know what, it just seems that as soon as I am comfortable with her routine, something changes. I know I've said this many times before, and every time it is true. 

One of the things I've come to grips with, is my wanting her to be what I want, not what she is. Earlier this year, I went and changed her bras, to sport bras. There was the suggestion that she goes braless. I have a hard time with that, because when she was younger, she was very aware of the attention that men have her, and wore bras that would lessen the appearance of her nipples through the bra. Now that she isn't that woman, I still wanted for her to have the modesty she used to have. Now, because she isn't that full breasted woman of her youth, and it is easier for me to dress her, one less item to worry about, I've let her go braless. 

I've also stopped buying sweat pants for her. She likes her jeans and has gotten comfortable using a belt to hold them up. So, what does this all mean? It means that I'm letting common sense talk to me, and listening to your comments. I feel I'm forcing her into something she isn't ready for. We have enough on our plates just to get from morning to night, there isn't any need for me to add anything on the plate until it is needed. 

With all that is there, there is time for my ride with my Driver at the wheel. He's ready, I'm ready so off we go, grabbing my cool sunglasses, and down the Road to Dementia Town we go, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Hope you find your common sense as you travel your road to Dementia Town, Keeping Your Shiny Side Up. Love Ya and God Bless.
