Houselight hunters.

Sweetie loves lighthouses.

 When we were planning our vacation to Oregon, the one thing that excited her more than anything, were the lighthouses. She wanted to see as many as she could. We became lighthouse hunters. When we were there, they were easy to find. And I do believe that we found all of them. 

Some of them were well preserved, and they were tended by Snowbirds from Arizona. Seniors that wanted relief from the Arizona hot summers, and they would volunteer to watch over them. 

It was a misty dream, that we would do something like that, but that never happened. You needed a big motor home and planned to stay the whole summer. That was one of our many plans of what to do when we retired. 

Saturday

It is my first freedom day in two weeks, and I'm ready for it. With loosing one of my caregivers, I quickly found out how precious these days are. 

My lady likes me to leave Sweetie in bed until she gets here. That way she can potty and bath her. This morning Sweetie had a better idea, she got up all by herself. 

I quickly got busy and put her on the potty, knowing that Lady was coming soon. 

Her timing was right on. Brought her up to speed, and was out of there. 

Heading for the course, wondering just how well, if at all, I was going to play. Still in pain, but livable levels. 

It is a beautiful day, cool, but not cold, light clouds, with a great deal of sunshine. A good day to be out on the course. Played better than I thought I would, did manage to protect my par per game streak. Took me to the 9th hole to get it, but I did get one. 

I have a chore to do. I told my buddy that I would get him some chocolate and a card for his Valentine. He is so much of a controller, and I know that about him, and when he didn't get what he wanted in the time he wanted, he was on the phone. I told him it would get done today. No biggie for me. 

Got Sweetie, made it to the mall, got the box of dark chocolate, a card, and wrapping paper. 

Now for the fun part. I left the card, wrapping paper on the car, and drove off. Upon arrival, I discoverd what happened. Told him, and went to get other card and stuff. Found a sweet card, and when I read it to him, he liked it. Yea!

Part two, or three? My radiator covers were delivered, and with that, we were off to son's house. He and I planned on working on Tweety together, to install the covers. 

It took us almost 3 hours to get the job done. Sweetie didn't want to go into the house, so I let her stay in the car. Where she took a nap. It worked out for the best, that way I knew where she was at all times. 

Home again to finish the day. First thing I did was give her some Happy Medline, and potty her. 

After that, it was dinner time, used the soup from last Sunday. Then dessert, and watched "Up" again, and "Monster's University". Then to bed we went. 

Found a position that relieved my pain, and the next thing I knew, I was out. What a great day it was. 

We got on a long good stretch of Road to Dementia Town today. Driver got us going today. A fun day, and day of challenges, of getting things done, a day of accomplishments. All the while, we were Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
