Friday

The day has had ups and downs. I will start out on a sad note. Our barn crew has had a sad day. Marie, our barn crew leader aka driver, lost her husband today. Sadness prevails and we are keeping Marie and her family close in our prayers. Woody had the home visit about his participation in a brain study at Vanderbilt. He was asked to participate when he was in ICU back in December and he readily agreed. He has decided to donate his brain at the time of his death. So a lot of dealing with death today! The young lady was very sweet and took him through various exercises and lists of questions, etc. I think it was obvious that alzheimers isn't a problem at this point. She was here almost 2 hours...and, I think he enjoyed the challenges she presented. At least her visit was a change in his daily routine! We sat in the living room...so a change of scenery for him, too. He had lunch after she left and then "lounged" around until it was time for our next activity of the day...go to church to have our pictures taken for a church pictorial directory. That appointment went quickly and I don't think that we broke the camera! The appointment was for 4:30 and we were home before 5pm. Quick! Quick! Now we are aettling in for the night. I have started on Sunday's Sunday School lesson, as Marie is the teacher for our class and I am her substitute teacher. So looking at the lesson a little later in the week than usual. I told her last night when she and her daughter were on their way to Vanderbilt that I would teach for her. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
