Buffalo



 Family is important to me. 

I am so glad we were able to make this trip. I would like to make another one, but I think it would be pushing my luck. Not that we couldn't do the physical part, the drive, the new place to sleep, eating and all, its is it a necessary thing to do?

As it is now, Sweetie can ride in a car indefinably. She seems content to sit and watch the scenery go by. Just a note, last night, we took a drive and past a field and buffalo were out grazing. To the north of Albuquerque, is the Sandia Indian Reservation and I'm sure the buffalo were on Indian Property. I've seen buffalo before, but never this close to town. Got excited. 

Yesterday was another non CBD day. I'm not sure what is going on with her. She also went down for a nap after lunch for 3 hours. I woke her up, being afraid that she wouldn't sleep through the night. We were up later than normal, with the drive and all. Got to bed around 8:30 and she went to sleep easily enough. 

I have a doctor's appointment at the VA this morning, and will get her up as normal. Going to have to mask her while we are there and as long as I'm wearing one, she seems content to wear hers. 

After the doctor's appointment, we're going to head to the zoo and see if it is open. Went by it last night and didn't see any barriers up or signs saying it is still closed. I hope it is open and, if it is open, it will give us another destination when we want to get out of the house.    

Destination, is someplace to arrive at, Driver says it is the journey that is to be enjoyed. And that is what He is trying to teach me each day I get in the car with Him as we travel down the Road to Dementia Town. Yes, we have stops along the way, but we haven't arrived at our final destination yet. As long as Sweetie has breath in her, I'll be there to take care of her, and my Driver will be there to strengthen, and encourage me to do my best. As we travel down the Road to Dementia Town. Cool sunglasses on, and we are Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. Lets hear it for Keeping Our Shiny Side Up today. Gotta love it, Love you and TTFN, God Bless.
