Feeding her cookies.

On the course.


As I look at this picture, I feel very lucky that I can still match colors pretty good. Simple, pretty, and famine. She looks good in pink, and those shoes I bought her sometime back help complete the look. 

I've seen too many seniors dress like the are either color blind, or have no sense of what goes with what. Two different plaids that can make you have motion sickness just watching them go bye. I pray that that will never be with her, not as long as I'm dressing her. 

Saturday

She is still sleeping and I'm getting ready to leave. I made arrangements for our sitter to come an hour earlier today. It has been so hot lately that an earlier hour just might help keeping me cool. 

I got there in time to hit some balls on the driving range, and time on the putting green. Don't know if it helped, but it was a start. I know I need the practice, and maybe an early start on Saturday, with that time to do some practicing won't hurt. 

Played with a man and his high school son. They asked me if I was a single and would join them. How nice it was for me, to be asked not to ask them. We had a good round, all of us walked, and good beginning conversations. They even asked if I'd like to go to lunch with them. I declined because of the time restraints I have to live with. Maybe some other time. Hope to join them again. 

When I got up, Sweetie was sitting at the table, waiting for me to get home, and was so happy to see me. 

The report was that she had a big BM, and she cleaned her up as much as she could. It was our sitters first time experiencing that, she felt she did a good job, and from what I saw later, she did. 

After we were alone, I took Sweetie out for our walk about, some shopping at Costco. Then home. 

One of the things I like about Costco, is their meat selections. I got us some salmon and some pork chops for future meals. 

Upon getting home, because there is no way for us to cook and eat that amount of food, I cut up and wrap individual portions. This way, we always have enough protein for one meal. I've been doing this for years and it helps keep the food budget intact. 

We ended up having salmon for dinner last night. I think I over cooked it, but it was good enough to eat. Sweetie is having more difficulties with eating with a fork. I some times have to help her, put food on the fork, and she will then take the it and feed herself. I look at it as another step down into that hole known as Dementia. 

Ended our evening, sitting on the couch, watching "Cars", and feeding her cookies. 

Bed time was a good time. She was ready, gave her some CBD, and lotion on her hands, and off to bed we went. A good ending to a good day. 

Ever feel that the other shoe is going to drop any minute? Driver told me not to worry about it. He has got it covered. Just keep going and doing what we are doing now, and the shoes won't matter. Because He is behind the wheel, and we are riding with Him, On the Road to Dementia Town, 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...
