George was watching a women’s championship golf game when I came over today. He was really into it so we watched the rest of the game; it was being played in Singapore. After wards he did his routine of getting ready and then he read the paper while I fixed him some lunch. After lunch we played 2 games of Ker Plunk, he won both times. :) (He didn't want to play anymore after that.) We went for a drive and then he came home and took a shower.
His BP today was 138/70 and his weight is 92lbs.

Today when I came over, George was busy picking things up off the floor. I mentioned getting a plant (Wednesday we put a stool in front of the living room mirror. He wants to put a plant there from Planet Jungle). He said “I want to go there one more time.” It’s really windy today! We went to lunch first at Pei Wei. It was really noisey. He spent most of the time watching the employees. We went to Planet Jungle and picked up a plant. The one he wanted was $98.00! and it wasn’t even real. It was a tall bonsai type tree. He ended up getting a palm tree. We went to Beans and Brews after wards to read the paper and have coffee. We came home and put the plant in the living room. It looks really good :) we talked to Sharon for a bit too and looked at the pictures she sent along with his Birthday card. I mentioned a couple times going to get a hair cut, he said “Not today, next time.” No pictures today, I forgot my phone.

George was up when I came over today. He talked for an hour! :) It was so nice. Lately he has been so tired he hardly wants to talk at all. He was telling me things about Fran, talking about the dinner last night and just talking away. I got out the cards to help him decide where to go eat. Out of all of them he chose Hires! I even had the sushi cards out. Guess he felt like a hamburger. I asked him what he wanted to do next and he said "Just go around, I'm in no hurry to get home." I don't think he's said that before! That was nice to hear, usually I have talk him out of going home. He was really active and talkative today. It was a nice change from how the norm as been lately. After lunch we stopped by Planet Jungle on 7200 South I’ve always wondered about that place. George really liked it. He said he wanted to go home to find a place for a plant. We’ll be back ;) I stopped at Message Envy to get info on massages. He said “That’s just for women.” I told him it was for men too. We also stopped by the senior center I wanted to see what that place is all about. We got there as they were closing. He talked to Sharon and David on skype too. Friday George said he wanted to try Pei Wei it’s an Asian diner. Today was a good day :)Tuesday February 22, 2011
Dennis, Tom, Fran and George picked me up and we all drove out to Utah Noodle Parlor in
Ogden to celebrate George’s and Mamiyo’s Birthdays. George is 94 and Mamiyo is 86. It was really fun :) Patty, Dan, and Sarah were there too. He was trying to tell me he was 90 when I asked him how old he was. I told him he was 94; he smiled and said “Close enough.”

It is really snowy today. I think we will stay inside. I’ll let him choose an activity or art project. 
When he was getting ready I asked him if he knew what tomorrow was. I told him it was his Birthday and he just smiled and said “Oh gaul” I said “Just another day?” he said “Ya”. Tom and Fran came over and visited for a bit. After they left George worked on a cup for Mamiyo’s Birthday. It turned out cute ;)
His BP was 142/82 and his weight was 92 lbs.

When I came over today, George was up, dressed and sitting on the couch! Yeah :) It only took a little while to finish getting ready. We went to Cactus and Tropicals in Draper. I told George that Sharon and David had a Birthday present for him and we needed to pick it up. He smiled. They had a really nice arrangement for him. How nice ;) We went to lunch after wards at Janbo Express. It was a Chinese place. He said he liked the food too :) We stopped off at the Pet store on the way home and he seemed more interested in the ‘stuff’ there than the pets. Course they really had a lack of pets today. One of the birds was on my shoulder trying to eat my hat.
There was a strange looking fish too.

Wednesday February 16, 2011
George had just gotten up when I came over today. It took forever to find his teeth…when he was ready, he chose American food today and I showed him some cards. We went to Paradise Bakery for lunch today. He wanted to go on Sunday but they were closed. He pretty much ate everything! It was really good, even he thought so ;) We had the butternut squash soup he likes and he had a half a sandwich and coffee. We went to Wheeler Farm afterwards too. It was really windy today. There is a storm coming in either tonight or early morning.

Happy Valentines Day!
I was over today, it was a really nice day. George was eating breakfast outside in the sun :)
Sunday February 13, 2011
When I came over, George was still in bed. I knocked and then opened his door to let him know I was here. He said "I'm still sleeping". I gave him time to get up, he got up pretty quickly, I could hear the sink running ;) after he was ready to go, He talked to Sharon and David on the skype for a little bit and then we went to lunch at Denny's. He was pretty quite at lunch and when I asked him why, he said he was tired. He ate almost all of his lunch :) After wards we went to Iron Mesa park to go for a walk. We watched others playing Frisbee, going for a walk and just out enjoying the day. It was getting cold so we left. George noticed, as we were leaving that the moon was up! We drove away into the sun, weird. We saw lots of airplanes in the sky too.
His BP was 150/64 and his weight was 91 lbs.
Friday February 11, 2011
I took today off.
Wednesday February 9, 2011
George got up pretty early today. I was in the bathroom getting ready and it was around 11ish. He looked at me like ‘what are you doing here’. I had to remind him that Dennis and Trevor were out of town and that I was staying at the house. I told him I was getting ready to go and he should to. We went out to brunch and then went to the dentist afterwards. Everything is fine :)
(His sleeping patterns and routine seem to be different day to day).
Monday and Tuesday February 7th & 8th 2011
I had errands to run but I was at the house in the evening. George was up until 4:00 am! I tried everything to get him to go to bed even thinking if I said that I couldn’t sleep he would think “Oh, ok dear” and go to bed. He just said “I don’t care”, and “you don’t need to sleep”. It was an interesting night. I kept showing him the time but that didn’t seem to matter to him. “What’s the difference?” is all he said.
Tuesday afternoon he finally woke up around 2:30. I thought I’d let him sleep since he didn’t go to bed until really late. He took a nap around 7:00 pm and when he woke up he told me “Good morning” I had to remind him it was still night time. He went to bed late again, but not as late.
Sunday February 6, 2011
George was dressed, asleep and on the couch today when I came over. It took him awhile to get going today. I gave him two options today; stay home order a pizza and watch the super bowl or go out to eat. He said he’s ‘not really into that stuff’ (Meaning super bowl) he said he wanted to go eat. I showed him the cards from the places we have gone and he actually chose one! We went to a pho place that we had been to before. He remembered going there. When he got home he took a shower.
Dennis and Trevor will be out of town for a ski comp. I’ll be staying at the house until Wednesday.
Friday February 4, 2011
When I came over today George was still in bed. He was really confused this morning/afternoon. But he was able to get up and get going. He had a podiatrist apt. today with Dr. Kunz, it was hard to get him out and get going. We ate at a new place on Highland Dr. called Ming’s Garden (Something like that). After that we drove to the store to cash his check. He kept falling asleep and when we pulled up at the store I was telling him what he needed to do and he woke up :)
Wednesday February 2, 2011
I mentioned to George today that it was February. He said “Oh is that right?” I told him his
Birthday was coming up soon, he just smiled. All we have been able to do lately is just go to lunch. He’s just so tired and not wanting to wake up or just wanting to go back to bed. He really wanted this breakfast, he ate all but maybe one bite.
His BP was 150/64 and his weight was 91 lbs.

I don’t think we made it out of the house today. George has been really tired lately, staying up really late and not going to bed until early in the morning. He did take a shower today though.
Friday January 28, 2011
When I came over today George wasn’t up yet or dressed. I gave him 10 minutes to lay down, then he would have to get up and get dressed. When he was ready to go he said he wanted to eat lunch at a "Japanese restaurant." The place we tried to go to was closed so we went across the street to a Thai place instead. It was really nice inside. We went to Dr. Baker’s after wards and he wants us to bring pictures of when George was young. :) We made an appointment for 3 months and then we went and picked up his prescription at the store.
Wednesday January 26, 2011
We went to a place for lunch called Anna's cafe. When I asked George if he liked it he said "I like
it, it's big". After lunch we went to the pet store 
to look at all of the pets. They didn’t have any kittens but he liked the new puppies and the birds. Dennis and Trevor are out of town in Sun Valley. I’m staying here while they are gone.
Sunday January 23, 2011
I’m sorry I don’t remember.
Friday January 21, 2011
George was half dressed in his room when I came over. He had a Dr's apt today but when we got there the Doctor was out for the day. I made another appointment for next week. We went to lunch at Hopper's. I asked him if he liked the place, he looked around the booth we were sitting at and said "What's the difference?” There was a woman at the restaurant that thought he was 'cute' :)
He really liked the ice water. He said "It's really good" and did his OK sign. We went for a short drive after wards. I had to leave to go see my Dad. George talked to Sharon on the phone when we got home. It was good weather today, cool but nice. He also took a shower today.
His weight was 90 lbs. and his BP was 130/68
Wednesday January 19, 2011
Today when I came over, George was up sitting on the couch and watching TV in his robe. He
had just gotten up. I took him to his room and he got ready to go. When he was ready we went to the Dentist for a check up. Everything is fine. We tried to go to lunch at Sharon's Cafe by his barbershop but they were closed. We went to the Chinese restaurant by his barbershop and stopped in a store to look around. (He was looking through the window) ;) We walked over to his barbershop and he even had his hair washed. He was saying it was warm 'like a shower'. After his haircut we came home. It was a good day; he got ready pretty fast and seemed to be 'himself' today.
Sunday January 16, 2011
Today when I came over George was in his room looking at pictures, he wasn’t fully dressed so I thought I’d get him in the shower. I think that made him really confused. He was asking who I work for (Because I was trying to help him with ‘private things’). It was cute cause he said “I appreciate what you do, but…” When he was ready to go we went to a really late lunch, he was telling ‘pointing’ to me where he wanted to go and he said “Right there, ihop”. Normally he doesn’t want to go there, but I guess he was hungry. He was OK once he was out and seemed to forget all about this afternoon. Dennis will get him in the shower later on tonight. He talked to Sharon today too.
His BP and weight have been pretty consistent the past month. (His BP is where it normally is).
Friday January 14, 2011
George has talked to Sharon this week, on the phone and on skype. Hopefully he will get back on
a normal schedule soon. He’s not sleeping very well and seems more confused but I think it’s mostly from lack of sleep. He was looking at Sharon and David's wedding pictures today while he was eating.
His weight today was 90 lbs and BP was 124/62
Wednesday January 12, 2011
We got out late today and went to lunch at the tofu place by Albertson’s. George was pretty
amazed at how much food they brought out. They brought mine out first and he said “Did you order all that food!” and when they brought his out he said laughing “That’s a lot of food!” it was cute. He said he really liked that place. I know we haven’t been getting out until late, sometimes not at all because George has been so tired lately.
Sunday January 9, 2011
George didn’t get to bed until 7am! He’s been going to bed really late lately and been getting up really late too. He’s been confused during the day, but after talking to Dennis we realized he is that way when he first gets up. George got in the shower today and afterwards we took down the Christmas tree.
Friday January 7, 2011
I didn’t come over today; I’m not feeling good again today.
Wednesday January 5, 2011
We went out to lunch at a Pho place today. He said he liked it. :) He laughed at the Buddha he saw when we went inside. It was kind of a rainy day.
Sunday January 2, 2011
Happy New Year!
I’m going to start coming over on Sunday’s instead of Monday’s during the winter, Dennis is at work on that day. I think today George got up really late; we didn’t get a whole lot done. I think we just stayed in and had lunch and played bingo. He was pretty tired.

Monday December 27th Wednesday December 29th and Friday December 31st I was out of town for Christmas. I know Sharon and David kept George busy and entertained :) I hope they all had a good week!

George made a candle today, it turned out really good :) He was happy with it. He made it for Sharon and David for Christmas.
Friday December 17, 2010
I didn’t go over today, not feeling good
Wednesday December 15, 2010
I came late today; we had a hard time getting out of the house. George couldn’t stop picking things up off the floor. That kept him distracted. We finally made it to Dollar Tree to pick up some candles to make at home.
Sharon is in town for the holidays. David will be coming soon too. :)
Monday December 13, 2010
Today I took George in to the Dr’s to get a blood draw. I had them get his weight and BP at the office. It was the same as it is at home. We put a few more things on the Christmas tree. George is really particular where things go. The tree looks great!
