Sunday, May 19

Chad and I, along with Trent and Marione, had a good day with pop.  He was alert and talking about everything from farming to his bishop duties.   We took him outside for a walk, and he had to sit in Trent's car.    Spent about an hour with him, and after walking around, he was ready for a nap.   He was playing around a lot, acting like a doddering old man.   He sure thinks hard about things, and then talks off in a completely different direction.   We just go along with him, even when we can't understand what he is saying.  I know he has slept a log this last week, which is part of the disease.   He will go for days and sleep, then be alert and yapping for a few days.    It was good to see him happy and settled.  Said they work things pretty good around there, and he works hard, too.  He's mentioned this before, and I believe he thinks he works there.   It was a good day, and it's easier to leave him when he seems content.
