Day of lightness and joy.

Sweetie and Me.


What a day we had. From the beginning to the end, it was a day of lightness and joy. 

Sweetie was on her best behavior. From the time I got her up, until she and I went to bed. 

The weather was kind to us, so we did our morning walk around the neighborhood. At times Sweetie look like she was getting tired, and then within a few minutes, I'd look and she seemed just as fresh as when we started out. So we walked for quite awhile. It was a good walk, dogs barking, cars going by, and it was trash day and so when the trash truck went by, it frightened her. 

It used to baffle me by what would scare her. Knowing what the sound is, and telling her, seems to help. I know where most of the dogs are and I know how they scare her, so we walk around those homes. There is one home that has two little yappers. And they have a gate that is right next to the sidewalk. We now walk in the street when we go by them. 

After lunch, I was planning on playing some golf. When we got an unexpected call from "The Boy" and he wanted to know if I would play a round of disc golf. I took him up and took a chance that Sweetie would make it. When I told her where we were going, of course, it didn't make and sense to her. It was when she saw him, she lite up. Don't know if she remembered that he was her son, that didn't matter, she just knew he was special. 

As we played, she walk with him, holding his hand, and was enjoying herself. We made it through the 9 hole course, and by the time we left to go home, she was ready. 

I could tell her Hemp Oil was wearing off because she was stand offish. Tried to get her to take some while we were in the car, no way. Then home, and again, no way. So, I got her some lotion on her hands and neck, and with in about 15 minutes, got some oil into her. 

Dinner was the same routine, eat, up, walk, back sit down, eat, and repeat. Then bed time, wait for her, and sure enough, she was up again. Watch a little TV, and back to bed for the night, both of us to end the day. A good Easter Egg day. 

Another day on the Road to Dementia Town, just motoring as we go, Keeping our Shiny Side 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...
