We loved our bonus morning at the ranch!
The rescue horses came down to say goodbye!
This one is my favorite!
Can you see the carrot I gave him?
I fed them to the other two also!
Tarzan is going to miss us!
He is a wild cat and muscular and eats the mice/rats around here!
I am so grateful for him and we love him as much as he loves us1
Sweet Tarzan!
We made it home in the early afternoon on Monday with a smooth trip all the way and I was so thankful for that!
Happy Hour on the driveway!
Louis Dean started to worry that he had not remembered to bring his laptop!
I KNEW it was not in the camper and front room when we left!
To keep him from fretting, I crawled up in the truck bed and snapped a pic of it and then showed it to to him! Crisis averted!
Things are changing here with his dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
I am trying to cope with our new normal while at the same time I'm thinking I may not be far behind him in terms of my memory loss and discombobulation!
I am being truthful in that this scares me.
I miss and grieve that I am not able to connect with Deanie anymore.
I will visit Lonnie next Monday and I am grateful he remembers me and asks about me.
It's unreal how life has changed since we lost Nita.
In the middle of the night I woke up and checked on Louis Dean!
I found him in the bathroom sitting on the toilet with the electric heater on and eating a bowl of ice cream! He said, "Do you have radar and wake up when I am doing something?"
Now I did not even know we HAD ice cream in the freezer!
I need to be more observant!
Tuesday morning I woke up and Louis Dean was running water in the bathtub!
I knew he had taken a bath last night so, once again. I asked him what he was doing!
He loves washing his laundry in the bathtub!
I sent the two pics to his granddaughter Chandy and she said he used to do that all the time when she was little.
It doesn't hurt anything and it kept him busy!
LD needs a project and he is good about finding one!
I admit to being a little blue on Tuesday -maybe more than a little to be truthful.
Change is hard and I am reeling from knowing my sister and my brother and my husband are all suffering the same disease. Relationships are affected and I feel a real grieving in my spirit.
It is a blessing to have Brenda in my life as a best friend. And Billy!
She is a constant to me as are Dean and Sherry and Amber and Summer and Jesse and Benjamin.
I do try to make the best of what I have and the least of what I've not - but it's a good thing to have someone to talk to in the hard moments.
Like some of you who are reading my words right now.
I love our online friendships and am so blessed by them.
My Tuesday treasures are all mixed up but I want to share them....
This candle is on the chest in our bedroom and smells so good!
I found this cup for Louis Dean since he is always missing a lid or the cup.
Alas, he's already lost this one!
Glade products are always good!
These are for Louis Dean! He dearly loves a bubble bath!
This distressed metal tray was just 99 cents!
Win! WIN!!
Yankee pumpkin candle for under $5!
Brenda found this and I will be wearing it a lot!
A new swim cover - or I can wear this over a sleeveless long dress!
Out of order but my sunflowers are blooming!
A mercury glass vase for 99 cents!
This Wednesday morning was a beautiful time to be outside on the kitchen deck!
The garden has never been more beautiful!
Love the birdsong and waterfalls in the ponds and all the greenery!
I call this my herb garden......
Louis Dean put up this arbor using an old bedspring from a family home in Comanche!
Our lillies will be blooming any day now!
Mornings on the kitchen deck is my very favorite time of the day.
Coffee and Jesus.
The Bible and prayers.....
My prayer journal and devotional books.
This time with the Lord gives me the strength to go through my day.
My first thing to do this day was to clean and prepare the guest room for Summer!
She arrived late this afternoon.
The second priority was Louis Dean getting a manicure and pedicure.
He was a happy man!
I had the super deluxe pedicure since he was having both!
Time and money well invested!
So much less than visiting a podiatrist every month and SO much more enjoyable!!
Summer is here and this is her 'Last Supper' before surgery in the morning!
Thank you in advance - all my sweet friends in the world of Blog - for your prayers for my daughter.
I love you all and pray that God blesses everyone who reads my words....
