Here is my Mom in her the yellow birthday outfit I gave her for her birthday.  She told me hated yellow when I gave it to her, but she loves this outfit and loves yellow.  Dementia is really interesting.  I watch my mom slip away day by day.  It is hard.

Dennis had a random smiley face turn up on the salad he made at sizzler.  It was a total fluke and I thought it was perfect for a grumpy man.  Here is a picture.

Here are out new Tour West warehouse visitors.  Chimney Aunts.  I hope one of the big trucks do not run over it. Their Chimney is only about 4 inches.  I hear they can be 6 feet high.

Being Grandparents is great.  We get to go to baseball games, dance recitals, swim meets, musical performances and lots of other things.  It doesn't matter if the grandkids win or loose, I just love them and they are always winners to me.  Here is a picture of Addy's swimming trophies  All of Jason's kids swim.  I am starting to understand a little about competitive swimming.  It is new and fun for me.  The bottoms picture is Emma swimming on of her heats.

On August 1st my mother turned 92.  Her sister turned 87 on July 31st.  She was here visiting so we celebrated their birthdays together.  When mom was five they brought Shirley home from the hospital and told her that her little sister was her birthday present.   Mom was not sure she liked

that.  When they gave her a real present she decided Shirley was Ok.  The sad thing about Mom's birthday was she had about the worst day ever with her dementia.  It was discouraging, but she snapped out of it the next day.  We put on the new outfit I bought her and she like it.  I was glad to see her perk up.  Here are some pictures of the birthday girls.
