We took Dad over to Streator yesterday and John made us something new, Greek lasagna, with ground lamb. We all liked it. Homemade bread, salad, yum. Pecan pie bars (the best breakfast in the world this a.m.!) and a scratch cake topped with white chocolate mousse. I may have to take a moment . . . Dad liked the ride, tons of tractors for him to see. He had church last night as well, and I think he was tired out. He asked even more than usual if he had to milk the cows, did he have to work in the a.m., does he just go straight into bed, he doesn't have to take a shower, does he? It must be really hard and tiring to have Alzheimer's/Dementia! Poor Dad. Nights are the worst, he is much better in the day.
Freakishly windy here today. Cats are jumpy. Bernie is afraid it is going to storm.
The river has been flooded so Dad hasn't had any boats to watch. Well it is open today, and packed! We pulled into our our favorite shady spot to watch the action and gosh, did Bernie crack me up! There is a kayak rental place at the river, and a couple was taking a break, their kayaks were nearby, they were lying on the grass on their backs sunbathing, knees bent, just chilling. I was afraid Bernie might make a off-color comment (nice looking girl in a swimsuit you know) lol, and he looked at this couple and turned to me and, with this impish grin, said, "I wish I had a bucket of ice water. I'd go throw it on them and run!" lmao. Oh it was priceless. LOL
Garden looks pretty good. Things are coming along. Looking forward to a short week this week. John and I are going putzing on Friday, heading up to Madison and check out the Farmer's Market. We've only been there in the fall for apples, so why not a summer trip? It's always fun.
Have a good week folks.
Kay
