George got up around noon today. We were going to use the Mt. Fugi certificate today but when we got there the door was open but the lights were off and no one was there. I looked at the hours and the only time we can go is on Friday. We’ll try again this Friday; I’ll try to remember the times. We ended up going to Fugi instead. He needed to come home; he got in the shower today too. It must have been a good shower; he took a nap on his bed after wards.

When I came in, George was sitting at the table and just finishing a sweet roll and some grapes. He said he wasn’t hungry for lunch, maybe later. After he was ready for the day, he watched the tree excavators taking out one of the neighbor’s trees. I think they have been there since Friday! He sat down and fell asleep. I had asked him to put his shoes on but he just waved me away. I let him sleep for awhile. Well it turned out being for more than I thought. He slept for a long time! Dennis came home and said that his sleep schedule is out of whack. I guess a couple nights ago, he didn’t even go to bed. I did get him something to eat when he did wake up.

It snowed last night! There is snow on the mountains and Dennis and Trevor went skiing yesterday! George was sitting at the table in his robe when I came over today. It took him awhile to get up and go get dressed. He fell asleep on his bed when he was getting dressed. Dennis brought home some Greek spaghetti for lunch. George had some of that, he seemed pretty tired today. After lunch I got out the birdfeeder and the paints. He was not interested! He said he had a headache, I gave him an ibuprofen. I said if he wanted to sleep he should go lay down on the couch. I covered him up and let him sleep.

It’s rainy, cloudy and a little cold today. When I came over George was upset about something, not sure what. I let him talk until he got it all out. He was pointing up towards the mountains so we went up to the Snowbird/Alta area again, it was soo pretty the other day. You couldn’t even see the mountains from the house so we decided to go see what the weather was like up there. It was pretty up there again today even though the weather was bad. He was pointing things out to me and talking about how pretty it was. He was saying that “We were up here the other day but we didn’t go this far.” When we got home I fixed him some noodles and he asked me to show him how far we went on the Wasatch Front poster that he has framed in the dining room. He said “Oh, we went a long way.” He talked to Sharon on skype and was playing with the stuffed animals too, it was cute. He was laughing at the heart that Sharon was showing him. “She must like that a lot.”
(There's a couple more pictures of the mountains on photobucket. I took a couple videos while he was on skype but I can not find them!)

It’s October already and it’s still warm outside! George was lying on the couch when I came over. After he was up and ready for the day, I made him some lunch at home, he ate outside on the patio. He loves Sharon’s soup! After some thought (And looking at the cards) he decided he wanted to go to the cemetery. He said “We haven’t been there for awhile.” I was waiting in my car and he came out with the picture of Elise and David with him and the cards we were looking at. I asked him why he brought those but he didn't tell me. He kept falling asleep on the drive there. We stopped at Smiths first and picked up some flowers, I asked him how many he wanted to get, he said four. After the cemetery we drove around the avenues a little and up towards Emigration Canyon. He fell asleep on the drive home but took a shower when we got back.

George had just gotten up when I came over; he was just wearing a jacket. I asked him to go get dressed “Why? I just woke up.” After he was dressed I was asking him where he would like to go today “Why do you ask me so many questions? I let him wander a bit; he went outside on the porch and then out to look at the new plants and flowers. When he came in, he was telling me about a guy in the paper, he was the first ethnic person to play on the NBA and he was saying “To me, not that good, Tomio is better.” He talked about it for awhile; it was nice to hear him talking like that. I got up and he said “Oh, hey look, this is my girlfriend.” He talked about Elise and David for a bit too. I pulled my car out and came inside, he had gone inside and I guess got distracted and was making his bed. He wanted to go to the Olympic Park but I called first and they weren’t jumping today. We ended up going to a Chinese place for lunch to get some soup and afterwards we drove up to the Snowbird, Alta area. It was so beautiful! There are so many colors; the mountain was just covered in beautiful colors. He came home and talked to Sharon on skype.

When I came in, George was up walking around so I took him right back to his room to get ready since he was already up. He was messing with his hair so I asked him if he wanted to go and get a haircut, he nodded yes. We went to lunch first at Mountain Star? (The Chinese restaurant by the barber shop.) I had to put his lunch in a take home box. Dennis is going to get him some soup. He had his hair washed and cut, both me and Yeo told him he looked younger. I noticed a community garden on the way to the barber shop so we stopped by there and looked at it after wards. Dennis called and told us about Noles Garden, it’s really pretty! Lots of trees, plants flowers…they even had birds. It’s been around for 50 years! There was even a pond with huge fish. It was a really neat place. (Dennis might buy a sculpture there for the front yard.) When George got home he wanted a cold drink and sat on the porch and was still there when I left.
There are six pictures on photobucket of George at Noles Garden.

George was watching TV when I came over. (When I walked in I noticed he had the coffee pot filled with noodles. Pretty smart if ya think about it.) I showed him the rose bushes that Dennis planted over the weekend. (He also planted a lilac bush by the bench, a pear tree and some other flowers in the front.) George ended up taking a shower this morning first. He was taking his time but eventually got ready for the day. We ended up eating at home, it was late. I gave him three choices of what to do today and after some thought; he decided he wanted to paint the bird feeder. He put rocks inside and painted those too. It’s pretty colorful! He was getting tired and feel asleep outside.
