LOST!

(This happened about 3 months ago during the first snow storm here.)

So, it's 8:20 am on a Friday morning. My phone rings, it's an aide from Mom's assisted living. She explains that Mom won't take her pills or eat her breakfast because Mom thinks that I'm lost in the mountains. The aide puts Mom on the phone..."Renee is that you?" "Yes, Mom, this is Renee and I'm at home and I'm fine." "Are you sure you're OK?" "Yes, so let them take care of you and take your pills and eat your breakfast." "Well, OK. I'm glad you're OK."

...I'm ALWAYS amazed by what goes on in Pink G's mind.

I Party Too Much

Pink G called me on my cell phone!!!! I was shocked, because she rarely can figure out how to use the phone. This was in October and Rick and I were driving home from ATV riding. She was so upset because she was so tired, but couldn't go to bed because she was watching all MY grandkids...her great-grandkids! I tried to tell her that the kids don't live in Utah, but her hallucinations are very real to her. I called my brother, Wayne, who lives very close. "Quick, get to Mom's, she's having a meltdown!" He calls me about 30 minutes later to explain that Mom thought I had dropped off all the kids so that Rick and I could go to a party. So, Wayne put Mom to bed, and "took the kids home".

Congrats! Pink G got Married

Mom announced last week that she got married. She can't remember her groom's name, and she thinks he's at work all the time. But she wants me to get her some new skirts and scarfs to wear for her man.
