What a great day today is. We have beautiful weather here in Gilbert. It's 80 degrees with a slight breeze.
I took my dad with me to the grocery store along with my two younger kids. He is in a moderate stage of Alzheimer's Disease. We have been shopping together lately. He is still very quiet, of course, and he just follows my lead. I know he is thinking a lot and I don't know about what, but I know he is taking it in. He acknowledged the beautiful weather since he does not go out of the house much. My mother is not very motivated to go places, so they just sit around inside the house. I think she is getting warn out from care giving. Anyway, I am sure the weather must have been very enjoyable to him.
We had fun together and as we pulled out of the shopping center he saw Taco Bell. This is what he had to say.......
"Taco Bell looks like Hell".
I looked over at him and he just gave me a little smile. So, I said "alrighty then". A few seconds later we hear a small voice in the back seat repeat what she heard.....
"Taco Bell looks like Hell".
Yep, now I have to explain to her why she shouldn't go home and repeat that to her friends.
The good news is ........it's a beautiful sunny day!!
