When I came in today, George was up, dressed and reading the paper. It was so good to see him reading the paper; I don’t see that much anymore. He was ready to go in a little over a half hour! I asked him if he wanted to go watch the ski jumpers again today since they didn’t jump on Monday. He asked me if that’s what I wanted to do and I said it was up to him. I mentioned that they will be quitting soon for the season. He said “Well, ya then let’s go!” I was looking for his cane and had it in my hands when we went to leave, George asked me where it was and I said “Oh ya” and showed him I had it, he laughed and said “I’ve been looking all over for that.” When we got up to the Olympic Park, there were only about 5 people there but once we were there for about an hour or so the jumpers about doubled. One of them went off the high jumps and George said “Now, that’s more like it.” There was a dog up there today too that George liked to watch. It was windy up there today. We went to McDonalds on the way home. Nothing was open up there; I found out everything closes after Labor Day. We met a cute little 2 yr old girl and when she was leaving, George noticed a baby carrier and asked to look inside, he laughed and did his OK sign. He got in the shower when he got home.

Hi Jody,
Sounds like Monday and Wednesday were good days! Sorry about the jumping schedule on Monday. They didn't tell me about that. Thanks for being flexible and going to Redstone. I'm glad you found a good place. And it's great there were jumpers on Wed. I peeked at my dad on Wed morning and it looked like he was really busy, and early too! So, I'm glad he wasn't asleep when you came by. On Thursday I took a look in the afternoon and he was sitting next to the counter in the kitchen, eating something off the counter...wonder what!? And there were garbage bags hanging all over. He was putting stuff in them. Then we went out on the porch. I'm glad he can entertain himself when he's alone. Everyday seems different.

Hi Sharon,

Ya every day is different that's for sure. I couldn't beleive it when we got up there on Monday. Well know I know for next year, let's hope I remember ;) Oh and after Labor day we'll have to remember about the grill being closed too. I'm glad he finds stuff to do. He seems to be busy with little things here and there. Thanks for the comment :)
Maybe that's why he was so tired today?
Have a good night and a good weekend.

Hi Jody,
I hope he was just tired from all the activity. I hope he's not getting sick again :( I wanted to skype but we had to go somewhere in the early evening. Maybe Monday if he's resting at home. My class gets out at 4 your time. I'll text to see where you're at. Don't rush to get back though.
I hope you have a good weekend too!
Thanks!

Hi Jody,
I assumed you might be reading this at the end of the day Monday. I forgot I have to run to another event now (4:20 your time) so can't do skype today. Maybe Wed?
Thanks. Hope you have a good day.
Sharon
