When I came over today I couldn’t find George! He was sitting outside on the swing :) I sat out there with him for a minute then he said he hadn’t had anything to eat. He went in to find something. I had him make some coffee and I made him some lunch. After lunch, he talked to Sharon on Skype for awhile. He liked it today. Sharon couldn’t hear but when he saw her he said “Hi Sharon, its Dad, How are you? I’m OK”. When he was done talking to Sharon, we went outside and planted his last plant. He did some gardening in the yard too. He asked me to find some weed killer, so I looked all over in the garage and I told him there wasn’t any, but ya know he had to look too. He was looking all over and pulling out all sorts of things. Dennis said he has been real active this week. Today I had to pretty much follow him around. He was by the pond and poking around with a stick, I was asking him not to get to close. I told him it was dangerous where he was standing. He said “If I fall, I won’t drown”. I finally got him away from that area.
There are more pictures on photobucket.

Today George came to the door in his robe. I was just walking up when he opened the door. It was late and he needed to eat. I made some lunch at home (Cause I knew it would take him awhile to get ready, and we needed to plant) and then we planted the plants he bought on Monday. It took him quite awhile to get going though. We went outside and he was going to sit down. He said “Just give me a minute”. I told him he hadn’t done anything yet. He had to do his thing today; he wouldn’t listen to what I had to say. You know how he can be ;) He was looking in the shed for tools, I guess my little shovel wasn’t enough ;) Once he finally had the tools he needed, and after some coaxing, he helped me plant his plants and flowers. He has one more plant to plant, and we will do that on Friday.
I forgot to do his weight and BP on Monday. When I took it today his Weight was 90 lbs. But I know that’s not right. He was about 95-96 last week. His BP was 118/63

George wanted to drive up 7200 So. He wanted to find someplace for lunch. He asked me to pull into the ‘shopping center’ we ended up at Carl’s Café there. They are only open for Breakfast and Lunch. (My Dad goes there a lot.) He liked it. He was looking at the building across the street and was telling me how many people had gone in and out since we had been there. We went to Home Depot after wards to pick up some plants to plant in the yard. George picked out some plants and two flowers. We were at Home Depot for awhile. We will plant on Wednesday.
