Yesterday was Memorial Day . Surrounded as we are in this retirement community by veterans , the stacato snap of Old Glory pervaded the summery air . Today , the balmy breezes have turned to hurricane-type gusts...no nostalgia here..just blustery , grey , chilly weather !
We seem to vacillate between seasons lately , with no rhyme nor reason . The dress of the day cannot be planned in advance , lacking the dependable predictability of the "weather-guessers" .
That flowing summer dress(matching our eye color perfectly ! ) and its tasteful jewelry will have to be swapped for a long-sleeved warm top and denim skirt...maybe even an added jacket . Not fair ! It's unofficially Summer now...white shoes and all (she whines ) !
My niece just sent photos of her new apartment...dear girl...what a cute place ! It's light and open...nicely decorated...a wonderful place to come home to and a wonderful girl to share !
Today will be busy catching up on stuff not taken care of during the holiday weekend...all tucked in as best I can between duties for Mother . She has had another UTI and finished up the last bit of antibiotic yesterday . This week will tell the tale whether she will recover any competancy ( the medicine tends to make the patient sleep even more and reduces appetite ) . The visiting nurse said that isn't likely with patients as advanced in Alzheimer's as is Mother...time will tell...
Duty calls...Have a splendid day !
