conversations
Today Mom and Dad and I went to the local bulk food store -- it was a rainy day with nothing much to do.
On the way home we passed a cemetery -- Mom said to me," Is your mother buried there?" I said, "No". She looked at me and I said,"You are my mother!"
"Oh, that's right, I keep forgetting that."
In another few minutes she said," Is your mother very old?"
I said,"Yes, she is very old!."
At the dinner table tonight we were talking and Dad asked about how old he was. When we told him he said he was in pretty good shape even if he was "mentally retarded" now.
We love you just the way you are, Dad. You are special to us.

EGGS IN WATER GLASSES?????
I just took the two ice trays out of the refrigerator and put them into the freezer-I find them often now in the wrong place. The other night I didn't know why Mom had the egg carton out - then I saw the water glasses on the table each with an egg in them! I think Mom thought the eggs were ice cubes.. The full milk pitcher was in the cabinet-I asked Mom "why" and she said she liked her milk cold.
Most of the time Mom is happy and cooperative. I think the new medicine is working.
Today she came to me and said," I'm sorry, but I don't remember your name." It was a sad moment for her. Once I reminded her she was okay.
She thinks her mother just died and this has been very heart wrenching for her. She has cried and wept over it, but is also accepting it.
Thanks to all her friends who call and write letters and love her--you are all special. I think she will always remember you.
Day to Day
8 of mom and dad's great grandchildren. We all love you, GG and Grandpa Ed
Dad can never seem to get over how straight the trees are here in Michigan.
This is our spoiled dog, Lucy. Dad is spoiling her. He sneaks her food from the table even though he is not supposed to do it. Lucy is getting fat on doughnuts, chocolate, bread etc.I guess we have a little boy living at our house again.
