Very good day.

Joy from the past. 


Time and time again, I look for a picture that I've not used, and time and time again I keep wondering why we don't have more up to date pictures. One of the things about caring for Sweetie, is that I don't really think of taking pictures. 

The last ones were when I took her to California for a beach fix. I was glad we did what we could. CV19 put a damper on most of my plans, and Dementia added its 2 cents worth of damping too. We have a birthday party to go to on Sunday, so I'll get some then. Hopefully, the daughters will be there and so I can get some family photos. 

It was almost a perfect day for us. When I went to get Sweetie up, she was already up, so I dressed her and we had breakfast, cleaned up, and out to the golf course we went. We had a good time, played a few extra holes, and then headed home. 

The rest of the day went well, including our daily walk at the mall. We spent time watching TV, eating, and having Jello for desert. I sometimes get amused when I hear Sweetie telling me she doesn't knowing how to do something and then watch, as in the Jello, disappear from the bowl. I chuckle to myself when that happens. 

We stayed up later than normal, just because Sweetie didn't do her "I want to go to bed" routine. Which was nice. All in all, it was a very good day. 

This morning ride with my Driver won't be a day of weeping or wondering, it will be a joyful ride. For I was refreshed with my day. Driver smiles. He knows how precious those days are for me. Both of us know that it won't be like that in the future, a big Easter Egg day, so I'll just keep these memories for the future and be thankful that we have them as we travel down the to Road to Dementia Town. The caravan is joining up, come join our band of drivers as we all travel together down the Road to Dementia Town with our Shiny Sides Up. C'ya, Luv 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...
