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 :)

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.”
