Found a nice alcove.

July 1, 2017 Hawaii bound.

When I stop and think about it, that it is the things that we can still do that is important, not the things that we can no longer do. 

It isn't that we can't take road trips anymore, we can. I can still load up the car with pullups, wipes, clean cloths, and head out to wherever I want. I think it is my frame of mind that is stopping me from doing it. 

The idea that she won't remember, or that I will have to care for her someplace that is strange for both of us. It is my mental thoughts that are the barrier to us leaving the house for an overnighter that is the main problem. 

I have concerns about her bed wetting, and how a hotel, motel would handle that? I know I can take barrier sheets with us, but then again, would she sleep on them? Second guessing doesn't do any good until I've made up my mind to do something. 

Yes, I'm tired of doing the same thing day in and day out. I need a break, we need a break, and I feel that as long as we have CBD, Stress Relief Lotion, pullups, and overnight pads, we could go on the road for a short trip. 

Sunday 

Before the pandemic, we were going to a Rehab Center where I was doing some preaching. My church has this agreement with the Rehab Center that allows us to provide a church service to its population that wanted one. 

It was my Sunday to lead the service. With Sweetie sitting on the side, I give my lesson on Faith, Hope and Love. It felt good to be there, to be doing something for others. 

Sweetie had a good time, for there were people there that remembered her. 

I think that this is the stimulus for the idea of wanting to hit the road again. 

After service, we went home, only to leave again for our walk about, and some shopping. Back home, we were ready to relax and finish our day. 

Driver found a nice alcove for us to pull into, and just sit and enjoy the view. We don't have to be on the Road to Dementia Town every moment of the day. To pull off the road and sit quietly is good every now and then. The time seemed to end too soon, but back on the road we went, refreshed we were and we had our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
