visited MIL at Nsg Home today

Today was a busy day. Had to take my car into the shop to get tire looked at & basic up keep. Then had a friend from high school & her 2 boys over for a quick play date. Finally to the nursing home to celebrate MIL's 81st birthday that was yesterday. Today was a bad day for her. She told me that "they" were coming to get her. 7 men. I asked why 7 & she said that's what it took. She was also teary eyed today too. Which in the past was her norm but int he past year we haven't seen that part of her. Finally she agreed to go to the beauty parlor that is on the premises. She's been telling me for the last year & 1/2 that she'll get her hair cut & permed when she gets home. Poor thing. She hasn't been home in a year & still doesn't realize where she's at is her new home. Her birthday celebration was pureed shrimp salad & fudge. Hard to figure out what to get a woman that no longer does the things that she always loved to do.
Dear Lord, I so hate Alsheimers.Brie @ 22wks visiting G-ma. Drool is her constant companion.

The birthday girl. PTL she agreed finally to get her hair done!
