With gusto.

2 granddaughters, 1 Sweetie

Where else, another picture of the Huntington Beach Pier. It was one of Sweetie's favorite place to be. We moved inland to New Mexico back in '95. When we did, we didn't know just how much the beach, the ocean, and being on the edge of the continent meant to her, to us. 

Being raised around the ocean all her life had more hold on her than either one of us knew. I've known people that like the ocean, liked playing in the ocean, being by the ocean, none like Sweetie. The Ocean was and is part of who she is. She not only lives with the Ocean, but I believe that the Ocean lives in her. 

We're getting better with the CBD. Because dementia doesn't jump out and tell us what is going on, I now have an regimentation for her. Usually, now, when we go downstairs for breakfast, I incorporate a half a dropper first thing. Before we do anything. It gives the Oil a chance to start its magic. 

I told you about the Hawaii album yesterday, well we sat on the couch and did it again, and have plans to get a different album out and sit with her and go through it. I don't know what is going through her mind when we do this, all I know is she is enjoying it. Pictures, not words, images that she can see us having fun with the family and having good times. Can she remember that it is her, me or the family? I don't know, all I know is she smiles. 

No golf yesterday, too much snow on the course. We're going to try to get in some golf today. The daycare people want to come over and bring Sweetie a Halloween goodie bag. I think it is their way of a "hidden inspection" of her environment, or it gives them a chance to connect with her. Maybe both. 

Dinner was a good meal for Sweetie. We had salmon, rice and peas. We haven't had salmon for a long time, and with the normal, "I don't know how to do it." she went after the fish with gusto. It was good to watch her eat a good meal, a fairly large meal at that. 

Yesterday was a good day, found some Easter Eggs along the way. I know that Driver had hidden them there before we arrived. With that twinkle in His eye, I know He has some more waiting for me. The hunt is on. So nice to look for good things and not worrying about that which I can do nothing about. As my Driver and I travel down the Road to Dementia Town. Leading those who travel with us as we go, all drive with our Shiny Sides Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
