Since no one seems to be posting here any more I am going to use it to have a conversation with myself. I'm aware that I could probably find an Alzheimer chat room or support area, but I don't want to hear other people's sad stories now. As thankful as I am that Dad survived meningitis, I really miss having adult conversations with him. Not that we could have anything terribly meaningful, but at least we could comment on the news, etc. Now it's just me explaining 100 times a day why his arm hurts. Once in a while answering something from way out in left field - like: did you let all the dogs in? Me: they're both in. Him: No, where are the rest of them. Me: we have 2 dogs and they're both in. Him: well, where are the other dogs that I was playing with all afternoon? Me: You must have been dreaming. And so it goes. I was going to work in the garden all day yesterday - wear myself out physically, but it rained so I spent the day reading - "Renegade" by Richard Wolffe - about Obama's presidential campaign. Had some interesting things to say, but lots of boring stuff too. I like Richard Wolffe - see him often on MSNBC. Today the sun is shining so I will head outside - hope it's not too humid. I need to go to town to get some milk, but if i mention it to Dad he want's to go immediately - even if it's 6 in the morning. On a brighter note: he showered and shaved again today without being reminded.

LOSERS

Happy Easter Everyone---I hope the Easter Bunny was good to all the kiddies!!

We all celebrated Jane's fiftieth last nite. We all had a good time. Today I'm watching a movie on tv. The movie is based a Nora Robert's book, and is actually pretty good.

Later, the boys and I will go over to Jane's and spend the afternoon and evening. But, we will be home in time for Amazing Race. I think we will be finalizing our girl's trip to Philly too.

Ok--maybe next time I look someone else besides me will have blogged!!

Hello outthere..........

Greetings! Sunday morning and all is well. It's sunny and mild, supposed to go up to 70 today. Was planning on working in garden, but have made arrangements to pick up the new little train I am buying for under the Christmas tree. It's the Emmett Kelley circus train which I have long admired and my friend is letting hers (in mint condition) go for a ridiculously low price.

Am about halfway thru "the little giant of aberdeen county" - so far, so good. Next I have coming Abraham Verghese's "Cutting for Stone." I have loved his first 2 books and am looking forward to this one. The New York Times gave it a pretty decent review.

Have a great day everyone!

Guess I'm the only one posting here - oh well. Doctor's office just called and postponed my colonoscopy - HURRAH!! It's better than the dentist cancelling.

We had a little snow last night - perhaps an inch. Sandi loves it, but Fritz acts like it's the enemy. Stalks the backporch like he's circling a python or something, and then jumps back and bats at it. Lucky for him it's not much deeper or you know what would be dragging - heh, heh - "5 Trails in the Snow" by Fritz Dragon. Couldn't resist.

Am wondering if anyone else got snow. Also wondering how long it will be before Dad just HAS to go to town. He can't resist driving around in the snow.
