Blank stare.

My Sunshine.

During our walk about, the mall has these backdrops were stores like Sears were. I have just begun to use them as backgrounds for taking pictures of my Sweetie. I should get some selfies of the both of us, or ask some passerby to take one of us together. 

It is what I've gotten used to. It is just another way of living. Me and Sweetie, walking hand in hand, watching her walk, talking to her, getting her to smile, knowing that she can still hear and understand my words is very important to me. 

Because we had a fainting spell while on the golf course, I am weary of what might happen while we walk. I can judge how she is doing by getting her to look at me and smile. Then tell her how much I love her smile, which I do, and then she smiles the more. 

Thursday

It was the normal beginning of the the day. With a little bit more hesitancy in getting her out of bed. There are some mornings she just doesn't want to get up. I'm going to start keeping track of how she gets up to how the day goes. 

After breakfast, we were off to the golf course. Everything seemed fine. Sweetie's hand hold tells me how she is doing. A firm handhold tells me she is doing well. 

It was on the second green that she made a move towards me while I was putting. Looked up and saw that blank stare, and I knew she was going to pass out. It happened out of the blue, there wasn't anything that would of triggered it, it just happened. 

Instead of venturing onward, I picked up my ball, and put her in the cart and homeward we went. 

All was not lost on coming home early. I'd planned on mowing the lawns that afternoon, and this gave me a chance to get the job down before the afternoon heat. Always looking for the Easter Egg when something causes my plans to change. 

Sweetie came with me and I sat her down on the couches we have, one in the backyard, and the other on the front porch. It was after the mowing and some weeding, that she got up and started to walk off, when I quickly got up and was able to guide her back into the house. 

She seemed strong enough to venture out one more time. It seems lately that we have been doing the same thing as far as our walk about is concerned. We go, walk, and then grocery shopping. 

One of the foods I don't do well with is rice. Most of the time, I either over cook it, with a crust on the bottom, or undercook it. I'm trying something new, crockpot it. May take some planning to do it that way, but it just may work. 

After dinner, we went to a Thursday meeting. It was sparsely attended, so I was glad we made it. I got Sweetie to help with setting the room up, passing out the books, and making her feel helpful as much as I could. 

After the meeting, talking with one of my friends there, she told me that on Thursday, at 10 in the morning, they have a Bible Study. Asking if it was a woman's study, and it wasn't, and I got an invitation to come and see for myself. 

Just another way that Driver has little surprises for us on this journey. Not that He isn't engaging, it is just that He knows I need the company of liked minded folks. You know, it just be the thing I need as a change of pace, an oasis along the way. As we travel down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
