I had a good day. We picked up my dad at noon & took him with us to my in-law's house for the cookout. It was great. Sometimes he can be really picky about his food & kind of fussy. But today he was in a good mood. He tried new things (German Coleslaw & German potato salad) & actually liked them. He ate a lot. My Brother-in-law is an awesome BBQ "chef". He made ribs, chicken wings & brats. My mother-in law made the german dishes, corn-on-the-cob & Mac & cheese. Then for dessert, watermellon, cheese cake, German macaroons, Ice cream & home whipped whiping cream. It was 6:00 when we took daddy back to the assisted living facility. He did not get overtired, disoriented, irritable or even really seem like he had altzheimer's except for sometimes having a hard time formulating his thoughts or remembering things he otherwise would.
I just got to thinking this morning that the in-laws house if not that far from the assisted living place & if there was a problem we could just take him back. I called & asked my mother-in-law what she thought & she said to bring him. It was only a high of 84 today after the morning showers so pleasant to sit outside around the pool after lunch. We walked around my father-in-law's wood working shop & his garden. Dad used to like to do woodworking too & always gardened so he enjoyed that. I got to spend some good quality time with daddy & he enjoyed being out & about, had a good meal & enjoyed talking with Mike's dad. I am sooooooooooooo glad we did this.
