Where will we go today?

Sweetie always loved flowers.

We no longer have these Irises growing in our back yard. We still have the plants, but because of growth of other plants, they do not get the sunshine to bloom. Which is sorta the symbol of our life today. 

For years we had roses, lilac, lily's, and irises every spring. It seems as the years have progressed the plants no longer bloom. Could it be that because I don't have the time to spend cultivating them they have lost the energy to bloom. 

Even our long stem rose has died. I've thought of replacing it, but it won't be the same. When we would get the biggest blooms from her, and she would produce them for us all summer long, I would cut them and make a bouquet for Sweetie in the morning and surprise her when she would get up. I've always been an early raiser, and would get much of my needed work done while she would sleep in. 

This habit has served me well, especially now when I need more "me" time. I'm able to spend time by myself, centering me and getting my day going, alone, without distraction, and now with the nanny cam, without worry about what Sweetie is up to. 

Sunday 

It was a day that the cam paid for itself. For I was watching her, and she was restless and stirring in bed, when I decided to see what was going on. She was wet, and uncomfortable. Got her up, cleaned and changed, changed her wet sheet, and put her back to bed. She slept for a solid 3 hours. Sound sleep, and a little scary. I would go in and check on her, would have to study her until I could detect her breathing. A little breathing movement, and she is pink, makes for another day of life. 

If days could be considered cookie cutter days. Then yesterday was on of them. 

I picked up some dried figs the other day. They are good, but tough. So, I boiled a couple of them, to see if I could hydrate them. I could. So, I chopped one up, and we had oatmeal for breakfast with figs to start our day. We'll see what happens. 

Not much to talk about yesterday's activities. Mainly the same pearl activities. We did get out and took a good walk in the neighborhood as the highlight of the day. 

Spent most of the day in front of the TV, where Sweetie was most content to be. I dug into our treasure trove of DVD's for some oldies but goodie movies. I have found the animated movies are best for Sweetie. They don't get her too excited or afraid so she still can enjoys them.  

I know Driver will soon show up and ready to hit the Road to Dementia Town. Where we will go today, and where we end up is yet to be seen. For you see, we have only one destination and not time table in which to get there. For some days the road will be rough, filled with pot holes and ruts. Then the road might be smooth, like freshly laid asphalt. We will only know, at the end of each day. So we smile and wave to those who are traveling with us. Down the Road to Dementia Town we go, and as always, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
