more of Dad's Birthday

Do you like his cool sunglasses?

He got a little teary with the cards from all his children

Dad's 86th Birthday

Waiting for the cake

Anna helped celebrate

March 6th 2010 Saturday morning

Mom has a picture of Sarah hanging on her mirror
Her new Easter bunny

Her room is looking homey

Mom's favorite doll

She has her room decorated nicely now.

Out in the car--are we having fun yet?

A fun day- we also went to Big Boy and had breakfast.

Mom is happy these days and that is very good.

Dad never knows where he is when we return to Sutter Living Center. However, he always knows all his children.

His skin is all cleared up and he looks very handsome these days.

I remember how mom ached for Bonny Boyer when she had Alzheimer's and could not say the right words--now mom is like that, but she doesn't know that she is speaking gibberish.

She laughed a lot today and helped me pick out some house plants at Home Depot. She always visits with the people around us when we are out and everyone is always so nice.

Mom still brings joy to others

May we bring some joy to her

To my mother-Barbara Probeck-

you will always be a reminder of what love is.
