True Believers.

Oldest daughter and hubbie.

Today can become something of a special day. Today is the day, I get up into the attic to get down Christmas, and that box of pictures. It is also the day the youngest daughter is coming over. 

I asked her to come and watch her mother while I get the decoration down. I know while I'm up there, Sweetie will get excited and want to help, maybe even try to climb the ladder to see what she can do. I'm so afraid of something like that happening, and her falling and hurting herself. 

I'm hoping that she will help in decorating the house. Keep it simple, that is my theme, but another hand and eye is helpful. If this works, maybe I can set in motion, a small tradition for the future. We'll see how it goes. As of now, I'll be looking for a few Easter Eggs while she is here. 

We returned to son's house yesterday afternoon for some pumpkin pie. DIL and I thought, because we had to leave early, it would be nice to come back for pie and coffee and it was delightful. 

Son had returned from purchasing their Christmas tree, a 7 footer, and was getting ready to bring it into the house. I was helping, and Sweetie was outside with us. That was a mistake, for it was blustery and she got cold in a hurry. Because I was outside, she had to be with me, and wouldn't go back in to get warm. It was the cause of our departure. It was fun while it lasted. 

We're predicted to have light rain and snow this morning, so I will need to either have Sweetie bundled up or staying inside. I'm hoping that she will stay inside. We have a large window looking out to the front yard, so she can watch from inside and stay warm. It shouldn't take very long to get all the Christmas decoration out and up. I have a blow up nativity scene and 3 projectors, all run by a timer. 30 minutes at the least, hour at the max. 

Inside, the tree, lights, and a few Christmas goodies around the room. Enough to see that Christmas is still alive, and we are true believers. 

Sweetie is sleeping more these days. I've gotten complements on how good she looks, it is just a shell. Sweetie is slowly leaving herself, and I know it. I'm going to enjoy this season for I think it will be the last one for us. Just preparing myself for what is still down the road. 

Driver and me, that is how I prepare for what is down the Road to Dementia Town. One day at a time, don't look to far or hard toward the future. Driver lets me know, the future is not mine to behold, just trust day by day, and we will get through all of this. Best of friends, traveling together, on the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
