Sweetie is still with me.

Tending the pin

I do believe this is the only picture I have of Sweetie still knowing what to do while playing golf. Tending the pin. That was about all she could do back then, over 3 years ago. As the days roll on, she doesn't know how to do that anymore. 

I'm still blessed by her present, it is just some of the things that she still does, that keeps me thinking that my Sweetie is still with me, still alive and around me. 

Tuesday

When I first went in to wake her, she wasn't in the best of moods. So, I left to get her stuff ready for when I did get her up and moving. 

The second awaking was better, she was smiling and eager to get up. Still, with her morning soreness, I got her out of bed and into the shower. Dressed and headed out for breakfast. 

Things were going well, and so, off to the golf course we went. My friends couldn't make it, so I teamed up with a fellow single golfer. The surprise of the day, was when a weather front moved in and rained on us. It started raining just after I got my first and only par of the day, making my string now 6 days in a row. It was after that we called it a day. Good thing, because when we got home, the sky opened up. It rained for a good 4 hours, a slow and gentle soaking rain. And as the saying goes, we can use all the rain we can get. Especially one like yesterday. 

Seeking something to do, I called and we went over to son's house, taking some stuff that we won't use and they can. DIL was out picking up the boys from their other grandpa's place, so we sat and visited with our son. Good conversation, covered many topics and Sweetie just listen, and every now and then interjected her opinion. We both smiled and nodded in agreement. 

The best part of the day is the dinner. I cut down portion, still enough to satisfy, and enough for her to get a full stomach. She ate the meal, cleaned her plate without getting up from the table. Made me so happy to see her eat. 

Some of the best days on the Road to Dementia Town, are the ones that fill in the gaps of time that aren't planned. Little did we know the rain would change the directions we were heading. Driver skillfully turned the corner and into the wind of change. Finishing our travels for the day in the most comfortable way, cuddling in the back seat, as we rode, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
