September 16- Wednesday

Lena and I are switching days this week so she can be with Gary today. When I arrived there about 9 am Dad had already eaten a bowl of cereal because he thought Lena had forgotten to come. I brought him some Oreo chocolate marshmallow peanut butter cookies! (that's a mouthful!) He popped those right in his mouth. Good sign! He talked about the pictures of mom at Fish Lake again. I cleaned up a little, threw away the Christmas tree in the office. We read scriptures for about an hour. I talked to him about taking a trip to see his brother, Grant. He said he is his closest friend, but he doesn't have any money to go see him. I assured him, he did. I talked to him about the meals on wheels, which he was fine with because he had used that program with his own mother. I talked to them this afternoon and they said they could start next Tuesday, September 22nd. It's only $3.00 donation per meal. They bring in one large nutritious balanced meal between 11:30 and 1:30 each day Monday through Friday. So, Dad could probably get lunch and dinner out it, if he is willing to reheat it in the microwave. They are going to his condo tomorrow at 12:30 to discuss with him his health issues and likes and dislikes with food. They already deliver to two other condos in his Complex.
This time I remembered to bring him his white shirts, however, I did notice he had other white shirts in his closet. I asked him why he didn't wear one of those on Sunday and he said they were dirty. Then I asked why didn't you let Dennis take them to the cleaners and he said they weren't dirty on Thursday!? But three days later they were too dirty to wear?
Dad is excited about going to the temple on Friday evening with his friend in the ward. Sunday evening, someone is picking him up to go to a Study Class. His spirits were fairly happy today. He appreciated the food from Sheryl!
