Sunday, January 20

The weather yesterday and today has been beautiful.  Here in the middle of January, go figure !

I took the dog and walked a long time yesterday afternoon.  She had a ball but got tired at the end.  (me too)

I went to see Cowboy today.  I finally took a multi-picture frame and managed to get it hung without breaking it.  We watched TV, read the paper (he looked at the comics).  They brought his lunch so I watched him eat and snitched a tiny bit of his roast beef.  He had left it.  Still isn't liking the taste of beef I think.  He ate everything else.

We went outside and walked around a little bit.  He used his walker but still seemed tired after a very short time.  We just took our time, then sat on a bench for a while.

Today was very hard for me because I could tell something was a little different.  Out of intuition I asked him if he knew my name.  He thought about it, seemed confused and then said he did not.  I told him my name was Lena Sue but he could call me Sweetheart.  He just smiled.

 I asked him if he knew his childrens names.  He said yes and when I asked what they were he said Jamie and Louise.  We do not have children, grandchildren or great grandchildren with those names.  Don't have a clue why he said that.  A good deal of the time today he seemed to be in some dream world of his own.

I stayed about 3 hours and came home.  Walked the dog again.  The walks really help me to cope and she loves it.  Good for both of us.
