10 days since I posted.  That may be a new record length of time.  I apologize.  I don't know what is happening with me.  Can't seem to stay organized.

I went to see Cowboy this past Friday and again today.  He is doing OK.  He seems kind of "dreamy" some of the time, like he is off dreaming about something else rather than being present.   The new activity aide (this is number 3 since he has been there) seems to be very fond of Cowboy.  She told me that in the spring she plans to take him over to another area of the home so they can plant a garden and be able to tend it without Billy tearing it up.  She told me that Cowboy reminds her to fill the birdbath and the feeders if she doesn't do it..  All of this will take a special effort on her part.  She also told me she is taking a group on a field trip tomorrow to a drive thru animal park. Cowboy expressed an interest in going.

I spent  quite a bit of time this past week taking my daughter to therapy and to the eye doctor and helping her clean up her room.  She purchased a pool table with a red cover and I have been tapped to cover some pillows and the bar chairs in red.  It is going to be a cool space.

Saturday night there was some fight on TV and she invited her kids and some friends over and they  were here until 1 AM.  The good news is I can't really hear anything when I go in my room and close the door.

I took my daughter to the airport yesterday and had the house to myself the rest of the day.  It was nice.  I had time to do a little shopping and buy groceries.  My daughter is on crutches for two more weeks but was released to work and travel.  When the next two weeks have passed t is when things will really get back to normal.  yea !

I have spent quite a bit of time working the yard the past couple of weeks and have the chigger bites to prove it.  The little critters think I am the sweetest thing around.  The yard is beginning to look pretty good but it is going to take another year to look the way I want.
