Monday, June 10, 2013 The speckles are really beautiful

We have had some great weather especially today, and so while walking and talking Mac said 'the speckles are really beautiful'...Well that took a little while to figure out...but then i followed his gaze as he looked out over the lake, and realized, the sparkles...the sun makes the lake have sparkles on the waves and truly it is beautiful..but i kind of like the word he thought up, speckles....this is happening off and on, as he has to search for words....sometimes it's so difficult that he says 'oh to hell with it" and drops the subject he was trying to talk about.  Familiar words fade away and come back for example when i said hang on i'll get  your kimona, he said 'what's a kimona'  - he hears that word every morning, but today it was out of his memory, so that was his word speckles, and also the ducks were hisseling, don't know what that was supposed to be, but also kind of like that word too....

The ducks were doing that yesterday on our way to church, we walked along the lake took us about 45 minutes to get there, but rather than leave mac i suggested he come with me.  He is not keen on church, but as i pointed out, he forgets so quickly just where i am, and since he can come with me, he might as well...why sit there getting angry wondering where I am  when he can be with me..

 he agreed which was great  i was kind of concerned as i was also going to leave him around dinner time,  to see The Rolling Stones (t'was super by the way)...and would be away all evening...a first - can't remember the last time i was away at night... Deb his caregiver for the night was great, and so when i returned home at 12:30 or so, his one complaint was about the cat, he was kind of upset, and i guess worry about the cat was his way of getting some of his frustration out, he was sure the cat would get out of the house somehow.  Deb said he also was concerned that the bed and that room was janet's  so she couldn't stay there..hey that's fine with me. and Deb.

So it's back to normal, this evening, we had a birthday party concert in the Activities room listening to a woman sing with a karoke machine , and it will be back to yoga lesson in the morning...never a dull moment for us oldies so must get to bed, g'nite.
