It was kind of a cool day today. I gave Mary the option of going for a walk or a drive today.

She wanted to go for a drive. We went for a little drive and ended up at Donner park. She wanted to stay in the car but I mentioned I'd never been there before and it looked like a nice park. It was ;) We went for a walk and could see the city below. She was saying how big the city really looks and how pretty the mountains are and how we can sometimes take them for granted. We were watching a dog and she said "I wonder what a dogs life is like". It was really peaceful at the park with lots of birds and a few people out walking their dogs.

Mary slept in today and had just gotten up when I came over. I got her some breakfast and had a little to eat with her too. Peter’s truck got stolen and he was working on getting that back while I had Mary choose some clothes to wear and take a shower. When she was ready, we went for a walk around the neighborhood. She was really relaxed when we came back. I got her some water and let her relax on the porch.

Mary had a really good walk today! When she was ready to go, we went for a walk at
Sugarhouse Park and then she wanted to go for a walk around the neighborhood too! When we got back from our walk, she left with Peter to go to the park again. It was a really nice day to be out and about.

Monday September 22. 2014

Mary had a little bit of a hard time getting ready this morning. I cleaned up while she got ready and then we went for a walk around the neighborhood. We came back and had something warm to drink (It's beginning to feel like fall) and talked about the carpet guys installing carpet downstairs today. I asked her if she was interested in painting and doing some crafts for the holidays. She said she was. She was mentioning again how much she likes birds. We need to do an activity involving birds. 


Friday September 19, 2014

After Mary was ready, I noticed a skin tear that she had while in the shower. She was dizzy afterwards. We relaxed inside and then went outside to sit and talk. She was still a little dizzy, but after a while we went for a small walk. She's fun to talk to :) (Peter brought home some bandages for Mary and one of the kids).

Wednesday September 17, 2014

Mary was sitting on the porch watching Peter clean up the boxes from all of the furniture. We sat outside and visited for a few minutes and then I had her come in and get ready for the day. We took a walk around the neighborhood and then we came home and I had her help me clean out her room and put things away. 

Monday September 15, 2014

We went on a walk at Fairmont park today. Mary liked it and we walked around the park a couple times. We even watched some of the skaters at the skate park. It was a pretty day. We'll have to go there again. They have a lot of benches and quite a few different paths to take. We saw these glasses at the house and both tried them on ;)

Friday September 12, 2014

I was able to stay a little longer today. After Mary was ready, we went for a walk around the neighborhood and came back and had a snack and visited. I was telling her a bunch of stories. She laughed at some of them and that made her ask some questions. I like when she does that. :)

Wednesday September 10, 2014

Peter wanted to go for a bike ride like the one he did on Friday. We took the van up and dropped him off and then me and Mary took the van down to Silver Lake and walked around the boardwalk. It was a pretty day with the leaves starting to change color. We ran into some people that saw a moose and some deer but we didn’t see any. It was a nice day. When we got back to the house, Amie was putting together a desk that she got. I don’t believe that she is only 10! I helped her a little bit and then Peter came home and helped her finish put her room together. 

Monday September 8, 2014

We went to Sunnyside Park today and walked around. They have a lot of baseball fields there. There wasn’t much to look at but it was a nice walk, nice weather and fun birds. When we came back to the house, we sat outside for a bit and had a drink. I think I need to find some pretty nature hikes. We are going to Silver lake on Wednesday after we drop off Peter near Brighton to go for a bike ride.

Friday September 5, 2014

I’ll have to leave Mary’s around 11:15 on Friday’s. After she was ready to go we went for a walk around the neighborhood. We had to come back for a few minutes. I was collecting pine cones and putting them in the sleeve of Mary’s sweater that I was carrying for her. She thought that was funny. We came back and put those in a bowl and then left again and went on a different route. I love Sugarhouse; it’s such a pretty place. She is lucky to live in a place that is so close to the park and has nice streets for her to walk.We saw this really pretty white cat with blue eyes! It's so pretty. It followed us for a little bit. 
I hope Mary has a good weekend!

I came over today so Peter could go on a bike ride. He had a great idea of having us drive him up Big Cottonwood canyon and dropping him off and then have me and Mary go on a little hike. It was a great day for a bike ride and a walk. There was a little bit of a breeze. Me and Mary tried to hike up to Lake Mary, we took a couple of breaks and she wanted to go back down. We should have gone to Silver Lake instead. Next time.  I took a couple pictures but they didn’t turn out very well.

Wednesday September 3, 2014

After Mary was ready to go, we went for a walk around the neighborhood. I wanted to take her for a walk around Sugarhouse Park but she wanted to go around the neighborhood instead. She was telling me that it was prettier ;) After we got back from our walk; we took a couple breaks to sit down. We relaxed outside and I asked her if she wanted to answer some trivia questions. We just did a few and quit cause she ‘didn’t care’. I’m still trying to figure out things that she may like to do when we can’t go for walks. I want to keep her occupied. She had a dentist appointment at 2:00. We had some lunch outside and then walked over to her appointment. When we got back, Peter was home. Mary was resting on the chair in the living room when I left.

I didn't go over today. I hope Mary had a nice Labor Day weekend.

Mary had a dentist apt today. We walked over to the dentist and then went on another walk afterwards. There was a dog that got our interest on the way to the dentist’s. It got hit by a car and everyone was out looking for it. They found it and it got taken to the vets. She has an apt for Wednesday at 2:00

Thursday August 28, 2014

Peter was helping Elise for soccer today. I came over later in the afternoon. We talked and visited. Molly hung out with us too :) We were talking about maps so I took a piece of paper and had her draw me the floor plan of the house. She was really into it for a long time, talking about the house and the neighbors and even going outside to look around. It was a fun day. I fixed us some dinner and we visited and then she got ready for bed.

Wednesday August 27, 2014

I don’t remember what we did today but I’m sure we went on a walk or two :)

Monday August 25, 2014

Today we went to Liberty Park. I thought it would be a nice change. We walked all the way  around the park with a little detour ;) It was a nice day and a nice walk. :) We sat and watched the ducks at the pond before we left.

Thursday August 21, 2014

We went for another walk at Sugar House Park after Mary was dressed and ready. We made it all the way around. It was a nice and over cast day with a nice little breeze. She was telling me the way back to the house and then we went inside and got her something to eat and drink. We went back outside, picked tomatoes and then just sat out by the house and talked about the neighbors.

Wednesday August 20, 2014

Mary showed me the way to Sugar House Park today. We walked around the park with a couple of breaks and then came back to the house, sat outside and visited.  She has some amazing stories :) I found out that she used to work at NASA. Smart lady.

Monday August 18, 2014

Today was my first day meeting Mary. She’s a nice lady with a nice family. We just talked today and I got to know her a little bit. Peter left for a bit and I stayed and talked with her while he was gone. I’ll be coming back on Wednesday.
