George was up and had been for a while. I helped to get him in the shower and then fixed lunch. A pack of gum got stuck in the dryer so I cleaned that out for a while (I have a great tip) and then Kevin from Homewatch Care Givers stopped by to talk to us about help this next week. It was a mellow day for George. He sat outside earlier and all the talk and listening was enough for him. He got up and went to take a nap.

Friday November 8, 2013

George had a lunch skype with Sharon today. I don’t remember what else we did on this day. :/

Today after lunch and exercising. I hung George’s fall wreath on the back of the front door. It looks so much better there! We went to the Senior Center and he rode a bike for a while and then was ready to go. We went back to the cafeteria area, I heard music. When we got back there, they were just finishing square dancing lessons. That would have been fun to watch. We left, went for a drive and then came home. George had a cookie and an Ensure and then ‘cleaned’.

I didn't go over on Friday, I wasn't feeling well. Today was just a mellow day. I had George get in the shower and then I fixed him some lunch. We played volley with one of the balloons from Willow’s baby shower. He acted like he had a good time. :) Rachael sat with him for a little bit too while he had lunch. We went back and put his clothes away and did some cleaning, looked at pictures and then did exercises. He watched TV and then took a nap. 

After George got up and got dressed we did his exercises and then he had lunch. We went and finally got his hair cut! I’ll bet it feels so good to get it cut. We went for a drive, looked at the changing leaves and the Halloween decorations and then went out to his old house in Holladay. He didn't recognize it this time. When we got back, he went outside and cleaned the leaves off of the table and chairs and picked up his birdhouses. I had him do a word search and then sit in the messaging chair. 

George had an eye appointment today. I helped to get him ready and then he had lunch. We went to the eye appointment and then to a couple stores to look around. It was windy and I think we came home at the right time. It was getting really windy! It’s supposed to snow later on. George watched some golf, had a snack and some coffee.

George has a soap making class today at the Senior Center. Dennis helped me get him

ready to go. I fixed him a shake before we left. He did a good job making soap today! There was a lady that is from Japan that was trying to talk to him in Japanese but he was saying he couldn't hear. Everyone seems happy to see him when he goes there. We didn't have time to do exercises today but he was walking really well at the Senior Center. When we got back we got the pumpkin seeds ready to get in the oven and then he had a late lunch with Sharon on skype. 

George was taking a nap when I got to the house. I got everything ready to carve pumpkins. It’s a nice day; we will be carving them outside. When he woke up and was ready, we did his exercises, had lunch and then carved the pumpkins. He did SO good! I drew 3 faces for him to choose from. I gave him the paper and a marker and he drew the face on the pumpkin and even cut it all out. I just helped to clean it up a little. The pumpkins were really easy to carve with the little saws we used. We cleaned up and took our pumpkins out to the front porch. I cleaned the seeds while George watched the neighbors work and then he took a nap.

Today is a really nice day! After George had his shower and did his exercises and was

ready to go, we went and cashed his check at the store and then went to Wheeler Farm’s Pumpkin Day’s. We went through the hay maze and picked out a couple of pumpkins to carve this week. We bought some duck food too and fed the ducks, looked at all the animals; the horses, cows, sheep, goats, ducks and geese and the baby pigs. All the animals were out today. When we got back I made him something to eat and cleaned off the pumpkins so they will be ready to carve.
