And so it was, all so beautiful as Mac and I enjoyed the fall colorful sceney around the lake. Even going up to the lake we were so surprised as all the colors were still there...normally we close the cottages up north at Thanksgiving, and usually the reds are almost finished, surprise there they were all the red maples in full array.
We had a bit of a rough going when we decided or at least my daughter grandaughter great grandaughter and I decided to go out for dinner at a really neat spa restaurant in Morin Heights not too far from our cottage, Mac somehow got the idea we were going to stay there, or who knows where, and sat through dinner with a long face. At the end of the dinner he stated "no debate, we are going directly home - then we'll come up again to close up cottage tomorrow. ' one of the things that was stated clearly in the last Alzheimer's Cafe meeting at Atwater library...never argue, you can't win when arguing with someone who has the big A. RIGHT...
Also never try to figure out what's going on in their heads. Mac made it clear that I was the big problem and he would settle my hash etc etc. then what a switch..when we got out of the car at our cottage - as we certainly were not going to go back home...he said. So you decided to do it. and he was so content as we entered the cottage...of course...the cottage is HOME to him as well, so what was the problem, well who knows...but he had the best night of the past hundred nights...he slept all night - got up only once...and the rest of the weekend was....AlL So Beautiful....including the great party for Thanksgiving and our son Leslie's birthday when we got home. as usual alls well that ends well,,,,,g'nite...
