Lovers of old.

My Sweetie.

Seeing her wear glasses, really dates this picture. It was our vacation in 2015, back to Disneyland for our beach time.

In those days, because we had both been around the ocean all of our lives, we would plan trips, usually for a 2 or 3 day stay, back to California. That was all that we needed back then. A day at the beach, a day at Disneyland, and maybe take in a Angel's game. Then back home. 

Sometimes we would make an extra day away by staying the night in either Kingman or Flagstaff. Then again, we might get up early, and do the drive in one day. Have breakfast on the road, usually at Flagstaff, then lunch would be at In-N-Out in Barstow. 

In-N-Out isn't in New Mexico, and the closet one is in Kingman, AZ. You don't know how many times I've thought of driving out there just for one of their burgers. We have some friends that live there, and we could drive out, get our burger, spend the night, and head home in the morning. 

The problem is Sweetie. I just don't know how well she would take such a trip. My worries would be her wondering. If she would get up in the middle of the night, not waking me, and head out the door. I always remember that Dementia doesn't me dumb. She could unlock the door easily enough and just walk out. So, we stay home for those reasons. 

Monday

Well, she is up and happy. Smiling as I give her her morning dose. And just like that, she is out of bed, and heading to the bathroom. 

I haven't seen her this eager to get up in many mornings. She is very cooperative, and that, of course, makes my morning easy to get going. 

Breakfast is served and is quickly consumed. On the Disney Channel, is a new program, "Vets on the Beach", so I put it on for her. I know she likes animals and I thought it would be good for her. 

She liked it so well, that I thought it would be OK for me to leave her and play a round alone. 

When I got to the course, I figured that I had made the wrong decision. It was a beautiful day. Cool, slight breeze, and blue skies. She would have been a joy this day. 

As it turned out, I had a very bad round, only one par, and I would have been a bad influence on her. 

Home and this time, we took off for the mall, and our walk about. I felt that if we would go soon after golf, my legs could handle the walk. I was right. We did our 2 laps and nice as you please. 

Not wanting to go straight home, we had lunch at McDonald's. Got a Quarter Pounder for me, and Chicken Nuggets for her. As it turned out, it wasn't this is mine and that is yours, it was a shared meal. She ate what she wanted, and I did the same. We hadn't eaten out in such a long time, it was fun for us. Afterwards, is was a long way home. 

The rest of the evening was about as normal as it could be. TV, small dinner, and a meeting. 

Sweetie's Dementia is removing her, this is so hard to talk about, sexual barriers. She is getting active. Last night was one such night. It was as if we were 20 years younger, and, well, she wanted her pleasure. So, before she would let me go to sleep, we were lovers of old, or should I say she was. I don't work anymore, so I did what I could, and she was pleasured. 

The Road to Dementia Town is full of surprises, and last night was such a wonderful surprise. I know that this section of the road won't last too long, so, we'll enjoy it until it too passes. That our love making will again become a sweet memory that I can hold on to. For now, it is so easy to Keep Our Shiny Side Up, as we are undercover lovers. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
