Another Saturday. Pretty nice here today but started getting windy about mid afternoon. Still windy.

Shragae FL..April Showers
Sandy IL..Wanting Spring Warmth
Lin AZ..Spring Allergy
Lucy TX..Enjoying the Warm Sunshine
Nancy IL..Watching Flowers Grow
Connie PA...Pulling Winter Weeds
Kathie CA..The Spring Gardener
Betty MN..Flowers in Bloom
Diane OK..
Mollyann MO..

How did you do on the scrambled words?? I'll get the answers posted on last nights thread after I'm done with tonights.

Kathie, sorry to hear that Jim has been having more problems. Are there any specific changes or just the same but worse.
Dementia is a difficult thing to deal with for the person who is ill and especially for the care giver. I really have never dealt with it except in my work in long term care for 25 years. Many of our residents either had early cognitive issues or more advanced Alzheimers.

Shragae, Your neighbor has a beautiful walkway. One of the ladies in my neighborhood has a backyard that borders the creek. Her whole bank down to the water is covered with flowers both perennials and some native wildflowers. She also has many birdfeeders and all kinds of wild birds come to feed there.

Sandy, Rosie certainly seems to have a sweet personality. I think dogs choose their person and she evidently has chosen you. She maybe is still a bit afraid of Fred but that will change as he is able to get closer to her.

Today I did much better on the steps when we went for coffee. Planned on going to Aldi this afternoon but Brian came with his little granddaughter and by the time they left I was out of the mood to go.

Have a good night.

Betty the only one I had trouble with was butterfly until I realized the scramble for kite was on the same line but it was fun and does make you think.

Going to be a rainy day but tomorrow sunny and 70’s and then nice the rest of the week. Mostly 60’s but also sunny.

One bad thing about having Debbie on our Amazon account is anything they order I get the e-mail about it and yesterday I got an e-mail telling me about a gift order I had made for aromatherapy candles that will arrive tomorrow. It’s our anniversary gift from Debbie and Jim! We will love them as we do love candles but it’s a shame that we already know they are coming.

It was so nice out yesterday that when I took Rosie out I gave no thought that the dogs next door might also be out. Well she was her happy little self until she got to the end of the garage. She saw them and I’ve never seen a dog do such a quick about face! She literally ran to the gate and looked back at me as though saying quick Mom or we’ll be killed! I told her to come back as they can’t get to her so she carefully walked back but they ran up to the fence and she was like sorry Mom no can do and headed for the gate again and again I said you have to potty first and they won’t hurt you. So she came up to me and hid behind my legs. I guess she thought doing that they wouldn’t see her. She peed about 4-5 times and each time then headed to the gate and each time I called her back as she hadn’t done the other. Well by then we had been out there a long time and here came Fred as it was halftime for the Purdue game and she ran to him hoping he would bring her in. By then he said Sandy she’s so scared she is not going to do anything else and she needs to come in and she can do the other later when those dogs are taken in. So I brought her in and she stayed close to Fred but still not close enough for him to pet her until she was in her bed. But at least she did run up to him when he came out and when I take her out she looks for him to be there as well. So baby steps but like Fred says we have plenty of time as she’s ours and not going anywhere.

Church this morning and having leftovers from last night. So will be a quiet day here.

Dsil here is having surgery tomorrow. We got a meal dropped off for them to have next two days and headed back after long chat. It’s a hour of driving. Got McDonald's on the way home since it was almost three and we had left before lunch. so our chicken and dumplings I made with theirs will wait until tomorrow.

Woke from strange unpleasant dream at 5:30 and just could not settle, so I had toast and coffee. dog looked at me as if I were nuts and buried her head in her blankie. I walked her, fed us breakfast, hit grocery store, made the chicken and dumplings and glazed carrots, and by the time it was cool enough, packed up a box and we were off.
Boy am I yawning now.

Betty: Jim has vascular dementia and I guess it just progresses according to how much oxygen gets to his brain. He has been smoking more again so I would suspect that is why the dementia has progressed.

Today I gave him his bath....It is hard on me to say the least but he didn't want Nancy to bathe him because she uses rubber gloves which is required by the company she works for. So, I no longer have Nancy. And, in a way it was an expensive bath because she didn't do much else in 3 hrs. that she worked at over $40 per hour. He really enjoyed my bathing him today so that was good and he looks and smells nice and clean.

Tucking you in now in our newest blanket. It looks like a nice bright sunny Spring day and our doggies are all playing together. We are sitting around them watching them play. I guess when the adults all love each other the doggies do too.....Sweet dreams!
