Community of fellow travelers.

The sunrise on our love.

It was one of those days where the Easter Eggs rolled out of hiding, and made it impossible to miss them. 

Years ago, and even now, with some help, Sweetie and I would tell each other this saying: "God is great all the time, and all the time, God is great!". It can become so common that they are only words. That the meaning gets covered up by the easiness in which they are used. 

How something is so special when you attain it, and after a passage of time, the vase, the picture, the book, or even the person, becomes common. Sits in a drawer, a corner of the room, or on the couch with you, and they don't seem to have that special flavor they used to have. 

One of my readers said that even though we have never met, she feels that she knows me and we are friends. I want to thank her for those kind words. Because that is the  relationship I've been hoping to develop here.

A Community of fellow travelers on this Road to Dementia Town, is a friendship. A bond of trust and love. A place where you can come to and find that you're not alone. That my tales of what everyday looks like in the care and feeding of my Sweetie. That you maybe able to say, "Yea, we do that." or "I'll have to try that.". Even the hints on when I share a dish that we have, and suggestions on what or how you do somethings. I love hearing from you. 

Sunday

I was in a zoom meeting, when I checked in on Sweetie. Expecting to see her laying in bed, hopefully asleep, or eyes open and moving. What I saw, was she was up, sitting on the edge of the bed, and gathering the blanket about her. Time to get moving. 

In a flash, I was in the room, and talking to her, "Good morning Sweetie." Helping her off the bed, and getting her into the bathroom. 

I felt that this is going to be along day. Up early, which means back to bed early. Oh well, it is what it is, and going to be. 

She wasn't in a hurry to get into the shower this morning, but with some encouragement, got her into the tub, and away we went. Showered, dried off, a clean cloths put on, we done in the bathroom. 

Tried something new for breakfast. Because she seems constipated, gave her a glass of prune juice as I prepared our breakfast. Letting her drink the juice before she eats. Maybe, just maybe, we'll have some progress in that area. 

Made the hash and scrambled eggs again. This time used 6 Tater Tots, a better mix, still will try 7 next time. 

Sweetie is hungry and she consumes the meal, which included a biscuit cut in half, toasted, with butter, CBD and honey.

We had just finished when the door bell rings. I can tell it is someone that we know by the way it is rung. Sure enough, it is daughter #3, and her fiancé. She has tried to call me, and it goes straight to voice mail. So, after church, they came over to see what was the matter. 

Turns out that my phone wasn't connect to my network. Simple problem to fix, power it off and on. 

She also came over to show off her engagement ring. They agreed on something different than a diamond. It is a emerald, on a small band with diamonds on the band. Very pretty. 

They are taking marriage classes, making plans on where to live, and looking at buying a new home. We are so happy for both of them. 

The rest of the day was as normal as we can be. Did go to the mall for our walk about in my new shoes. Have to report success. Even though the pain was there, it didn't build up and we were able to finish our two laps. 

Home, Sweetie went down for a nap, and I played on my computer. 

Watch TV, Netflix for the rest of the day. Watched romantic comedies. Both good movies to fill the time with. I usually judge movies by their title, now I look at the description. Watched "Serendipity" a chance meeting of two people, both engaged, both attracted to each other, and when separated, the search to find each other. The other movie was "Letters to Juliet". A lost letter, a writer, and a search. Liked them both. Chick flicks, who would of guessed. 

Driver didn't seem to be in a hurry today. Stayed in the slow lane for most of the day. We were able to see the beauty of the day better. He even pulled off the road and into a rest area so we could stretch our legs. On the Road to Dementia Town, doesn't have to be a race, we will get there when we get here, and not a moment too soon or too late. Like love, it is never too soon or too late, it is always on time. And like love, we will be Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.   Arthur.
