Pearl

When we only had these 2 grandsons. 

I've been using non stick frying pans for the longest time. Now we are having hamburgers for lunch, I remembered our cast iron frying pan. Old and crusty, but it fries the burger patty so well. As a result of getting out the frying pan, I went to You Tube to find out how to properly clean it. Kosher Salt. Watched the video, and now we are in business. 

I found out that Sweetie likes our homemade burgers, I cut the one we make in half, and with apple sauce, she gets a good lunch. I found that I cannot give her both at the same time. She uses the spoon to cut up the hamburger, so a new twist is added to lunch. Do I cut up her hamburger and then give it to her, or do I not give her the spoon and applesauce until the burger is gone? I doesn't matter which I choose, as long as she gets a good meal. 

Today, I have a sitter coming, so I can play golf and walk the course. I have been thinking on the instructions to give the sitter. For whatever reason they don't get the idea that Sweetie cannot go out the front door. They have to protect her from getting out. This is very important, and I don't want to come home to an empty house again. 

The extra dose of Hemp Oil seems to be helping Sweetie maintain a better balance and her ability to stay on track. Though she is getting weaker all the time. I can just see it in her. When we walk the mall, it is becoming more of a chore then a pleasure outing. I think I'm beginning to see a time not so far into the future that these outing will come to an end, as they will for all things active. 

I'm helping her eat more and more. The other day, I had to go to the VA for some lab work. We stopped at McDonald's for breakfast afterwards. Sweetie couldn't eat her egg, sausage sandwich by herself. I separated the halves and gave it to her one bit at a time. I was happy she ate as much as she did. 

Driver knows, this wears on me. If I was an oyster, I'd be making on big pearl by now. He knows, and tells me, that this is the Pearl of Great Wisdom. Something that cannot be taught, just caught. He knows what I'm going through and He helps me make sense of it. As we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. I see a Shiny Side Up on the onramp, could that be you? Your company is always welcomed as we caravan down the Road to Dementia Town with our Shiny Sides Up. C'ya, Love Ya, and God Bless.
