Dad - Nov. 24, 2006

Dad had a busy day, with Cathy and me carting him all over town. He had an omelette for breakfast, courtesy of Cathy, then we headed over to the Medical Library to scan some slides for Mom's service. Dad had to walk a long way, even though we dropped off as close to the door as possible, but he didn't complain. He ate an apple while he waited quietly with us in the computer room. Next we had lunch at an Italian restaurant, where Dad enjoyed the stuffed shells, salad, and bread. Then off to Supercuts, where he indicated that he seemed to be losing hair in the front! We came home, changed, and went to Mass. Dad declined to receive communion (Later he said it was because he nearly fell over the last time - I think he thinks he has to kneel; he had also told me that earlier in the mass, but I didn't realize he meant that he didn't want to take it this time; even though the minister came to our pew, Dad said "no, thank you." Later, we told him he didn't need to kneel to take it, so maybe he will next time.) Dad turned to me to say, "God bless you" at the end of the service.

We will have leftovers from the restaurant for dinner. I think Dad should sleep well tonight - he was up late watching "Titanic" last night, and then got up at 6 am.

It has been nice to be with Cathy and Dad this weekend, and to meet Ilene. Love, Jennie

Thanksgiving Day

It is a very pleasant day. Dad, Jason and I went to the Homestead Hills Dining Hall for the Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner.

Jason enjoyed flirting with the staff. Ruth Woodard came up and said she would attend the service on Dec. 4.

We are now snoozing in front of the TV watching Gromit and Wallace Cure of the Were-Rabbit.

Suzie and Jacob will join us later for some dessert after their other turkey dinner at his Mom's. Suzie will pick up Jennie later from the airport.

Saturday November 18, 2006

Dad slept in today. Last night we sat in the living room half sleeping-- listening to music. Finally about midnight Dad got up and got ready for bed. I watched a movie and he fell asleep quickly.

This morning he had the covers drawn over his head. Bettie will be coming in around nine to watch him for a few hours while I go to my exercise class.

It is a real comfort for me to have Dad for company during this lonely time!
