Invitation to Stay

Tonight, when it was time for bed, I got up to go upstairs and Mom said it was nice that I came out to visit and to come again. Then she said, you could stay you know. I just accepted her offer.

2 breakfasts

Mom fixed herself 2 breakfasts both before 9:00am. Guess I shouldn't take her dishes away quite so soon after she eats.

Brownie Bakery

I had read about a brownie bakery opening up in Kents Hill so yesterday Mom and I went to check it out. They had the most unusual brownies there. I picked out five different ones, since Mom couldn't decide on any one. When we got home we split the needhams brownie. It was delicious.
It rained off and on during our trip, a couple of times I could hardly see the road. Neither of us could remember ever seeing the rain so bad. Of course with Mom's memory, she wouldn't remember anyway! We had a nice trip. Mom commented on the hills and what good sliding they would be and, as usual, saw animal shapes in clouds and once in a pile of dirt we passed.

Shower

Mom went in to have a shower and shampoo yesterday. I just asked her if she was OK when the phone rang. I hadn't been on the phone for 2 minutes when I didn't hear the water any more. I excused myself and went to check. She was wiping off. I said something about I didn't think she's been in long enough to soap up and she said she probably hadn't. She hair was completely dry as well.
I guess the time has come when I'm going to have to walk her through the steps. I'm going to wash her hair today. I'll just have to do it as fast as possible because it bothers her back, bending over the sink.
Anyone with suggestions would be very welcome to share them.
