Still a Team.

My co-worker. 

Sweetie was the inspiration to get things done around the house. She was a painter, a planter, and weed puller, and she was the one that drove the improvements for the curb appeal of the house. 

Now, when it come time to do yard work, she will give it a try and then go and find some shade, sit and watch. Except when I'm mowing the lawns, she wants to help. She isn't strong enough to handle the mower by herself, so I give her room on one side of the mower and we push through the grass. I don't know what she is thinking about when we do this, for me it is nice to have her with me. I'm enjoying this task and will put them in my memory box for when the times come when she will no longer be able to help. 

It is like at the grocery store. pushing the basket isn't the same anymore. She needs to be part of what is going on, and pushing the cart is something she can do. Love letting her help, makes me feel like we are still a team. 

Time to team up with my Driver. I think we'll have a light day of driving today. Yesterday was so good that we should be having a celebration of Blessings today.  That would be hymns and loud joyful noise coming out of the car as we motor down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Hope you can join us with your loud joyful noise this morning as you travel your Road to Dementia Town, remembering to Keep your Shiny Side Up. Love Ya, and God Bless.
