I came over early today. Peter went up to work. Mary was a little more confused and needed more re-direction today than the last couple of weeks. It took her a little while to decide to get into the shower. We went to the store to pick up some glue to make her wreath out of the pine cones that we have collected over the past few months. The store was all sold out of the regular glue and the kind we got wasn't that good. We were working on her wreath and someone came to the door and that took her focus off of what she was doing. We had lunch and then went for a walk. It was raining earlier but stopped for a bit, we did end up getting rained on a little bit and some snow did fall too.  Mary has family coming into town for Christmas. I probably won't see her until next year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! 

Happy 79th Birthday Mary!

Mary had a little bit of a hard time getting going this morning. She was able to but needed a lot of re-direction. I had her open her present I brought for her. Her hands are always cold so I bought her a couple pairs of gloves. We had a little slice of chocolate cake too :) When she was ready, I had her decide whether to walk or drive. She was cold. She chose to drive over to the park. We walked around, and looked at the dogs and people watched. It was a nice sunny day. We went to Dunkin Donuts afterwards. She had some hot chocolate and got warmed up inside. When we got home, we looked at the paper but there was nothing 'interesting' in there. I made some lunch and then we went on another walk. I was asking her what her favorite part about the holidays was and she said, "The Christmas tree and the decorations". We saw some cute decorations out on our walk.

When I get back from my vacation, we'll have to make the wreath from the pine cones we have collected. 

Today was a gloomy day until we got home, then it was sunny ;) We were going on a drive and Mary said "Turn here" I asked where we were going and she said "To the park". We
went for a walk at the park and then drove to the Natural History Museum and looked around. She got a little anxious so we went downstairs to sit down and had a drink and shared a bagel. When we got home, she helped me put the dishes away and we did a little matching with cards and then she rested. I will see her on Monday, her Birthday! :)

It was good to see Mary after I hadn't seen her since last Wednesday. Both me and Janie showed up this morning. I ended up staying  and Janie came back at 1:00 so I could go to the airport. After Mary was ready, and all bundled up, we went for a walk around the neighboord and then came back, rearranged the leaves, read the paper,
and then we went for a short drive to Dunkin Donuts for coffee and hot chocolate. She was still cold from our walk.
