Mary was up early for how much colder it was today. Peter got her in the shower and I finished getting her ready for the day. We went to the store and bought a pumpkin. We took it over to my house (I had my pumpkin carving kit there) and carved the pumpkin. She carved an eye and the nose. When it was carved, I put the pumpkin seeds in the oven and we had a good snack. We went for a walk, the sun was coming out. I made us some lunch at my house and then we went for another really good walk. We went to the library and she picked up a couple more books. The day went fast today. It was a good day. When Peter got home, he took her over to the park.

Mary was up early today. Even though she was a little cold, she was able to get in the shower with no problems today. After breakfast, we went for a walk around the neighborhood, came in and had a small snack and then went to Garden Terrace to pick up some of her clothes that got lost there. We went over to Murray Park. Mary wanted to go into a building there. It turns out it was a rec. center. We took a walking tour of the place. It would be a nice place for Mary to go for a walk when the weather gets too cold. We spent some time at the park, and then went for a drive. There are so many pretty colors this time of year! We stopped and had lunch at a Mexican place and then drove home to finish up laundry. 

Mary slept in really late today. We drove down to Trolley Square and went for a walk in all the shops. We came home and had lunch. I left early because I have family in town.

I picked up Mary at Garden Terrace today. We had to wait for her laundry, but the laundry didn't have a lot of her clothes. Alma from Garden Terrace will call me about those. She had a great time there! (She did wander off the first day though). She is so helpful and sweet and just wants to help anyone she can. She even let Ricardo (The CNA) help her with a shower yesterday! The housekeeper did her hair too. Really nice group of people.
She was worn out today. She took a nap while reading a book waiting for the laundry and then again when I brought her home. She needs to rest up from being on their schedule.

Mary was up late today. Not until noon! Peter was able to get her in the shower after I had tried. We then went for a walk and then I drove her to Garden Terrace. I told her that Peter and the kids are going on vacation and that Peter was nice to get her a place there. I wasn't sure how she would take it but she was really great! She talked to all the people that lived there. She was so dang sweet! I left her a note telling her Luisa would be back in the morning to take her out for the day. I think she'll have a good time while she's there.

Wednesday October 7, 2015


We started off by reading a little bit of Mary's book. We needed to take the books back to the Library. We re-checked out a couple that she really seems to like. I've even read some to her and she just wants me to keep going ;) We went for a walk around the Sugar House area and met an interesting man on our walk. We ended up walking over to Fairmont park. A lady was there that brought tons of bird food for the birds. It was fun to watch them. We went to Wendy's for lunch and then to target to ride the scooter. She had fun with Luisa doing that so I wanted to try it. It wasn't quite the same. She did go around the store a couple times but didn't seem that interested in it. We came home and read.

Mary had a rough start today. She woke up not in a good mood and just didn't get out of it. It took a while to get dressed and get going but once she did, we went to Cafe on 1st and picked up some lunch and took it over to the park. We stayed at the park for a long time. She just wanted to relax. We watched all the dogs and the people. I think we walked all over Liberty park today. We went to the store to pick up some laundry soap, went for a drive and then headed back to the house. I hope she has a better night tonight and a good day tomorrow.

Mary was up but still in bed when I came over today. I went in and visited with her and then let her rest for a little bit. She is in good spirits today. We started off the day with a walk around the neighborhood and then went for a drive. We picked up some lunch and went to a park above the city cemetery. It had great views! We walked around up there too. We went in some shops in Sugar house and for a small walk at Hidden Hollow. She went with Peter when we got back to the house.
