All day long.

On a good day.


They do happen, good days, and when they do, it is amazing how quickly they pass. While we are in them, they are like a refreshing shower, where the cares of life are washed off. So, when you get out, revived and ready to go at it again. 

It isn't the struggle to make it from sunrise to sunset. There are days that make sense, that are fun, and we have a good time. The trick is to know that your in a good time and to enjoy it. Not waiting for the other shoe to drop.  

Tuesday

Sweetie is up again, first I can see she is awake and moving in bed. I've learned that when I see her doing this, two things can happen. One is she will just stay in bed, attempting to go back to sleep, and, of course the other, get up. It is when she gets up, I have to move. 

She stayed in bed until it was a descent time for her to get up. When I saw her making the bed, I was up and into her room. She was happy, smiling and that was a good sign. 

She was very cooperative as we moved through the morning tasks. The best time we've had in a long time. She even helped getting washed and dried off. 

Out in the living room, she followed my direction, sat down on the couch and watched TV. As I prepared the morning meal. She sat there and waited for me to get her. Breakfast ready, up to the table, sing our prayer, and she ate. 

It is getting nice, that I can finish my meal and get up, leaving her at the table to finish her meal. It is working well for both of us. 

She wanted to come with me to the golf course, which can be a 50/50 deal. At home ready to go, and at the course, a page is turned, and she isn't that happy to be there. 

This day was her good day. 

When we got to the first tee, there are youngsters waiting to tee off. The city has a golf program for the kids, and it is good to see them there. This morning a young girl told me how happy she is to see us. We are her favorite couple. How I take care of her has impressed her on how a couple should be. I was humbled. 

It goes to prove, you never know who is watching, and how they see us. I think is a chance to show that love is forever, not because it feels good. Easter Egg. 

I'm selling Tweety, because my new 'vette is coming at the end of the month, so I want to clean her up. After the round and lunch, we headed to the car wash. Drove her through, wiped her down, and back to house to finish the job.

I took a camping chair with us, so she could sit and watch as I wiped Tweety down, vacuumed her out, and washed her windows. Sweetie was content, and generally happy to be with me. 

This attitude of hers lasted the rest of the day, and into the evening. We've had good days, but not like this one. She was alert, eye's twinkling, and engaging. 

Looks like Driver made the right turn this morning. For the ride was a joy to behold. Found Easter Eggs along the way, as we traveled down the Road to Dementia Town. We were hard to miss, for we had polished the car, bright and shiny, and so, we had our Shiny Side Up all day long. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.

What a beautiful day 💟. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs with us. I share your blog with my brother. He isn't on Facebook but just loves to read them. You two are my favorite couple too.

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...
