Because I have medical procedures on Tuesday and Wednesday I traded Todd for this week. I pick up Dad at around 8:30 am. We looked at some pictures and he started to complain that his wife (I believe her name was Joan…) never liked to go fishing at Fish Lake (catchy name) with him. I told him that some people just don’t like to fish…

With that problem resolved I drove him to his favorite dining establishment, McDonald’s at WalMart. He was kind enough to give me directions to this particular WalMart (the one I’ve been coming to since it opened in 2003) ;o)

He ordered his usual 2 Sausage McMuffins and water. I asked him if he needed any groceries while we were here. He indicated he just needed one thing: a gallon of Sunny Delight (orange-colored liquid). I took him home and he seemed happy as a clam. I told him Todd and/or Sheryl would over on Tuesday evening.

September 13- Sunday

Today Dad was pretty upset with me. I forgot to give him his shirts that we picked up from the dry cleaners. I left them in my car when I took him into the house. He called my home looking for me and I wasn't home until late that night. I didn't listen to my messages until after church the next day, by then he had called three times each time yelling a little louder. He said he didn't go to church because of me. Dennis said there were other white shirts in his closet when he was there on Thursday. I apologized and told him I would bring the shirts to him during the week when I visit him next. Whew.
