Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson Disease Journey 2025 #1

We have started a new year and to be honest I am just a little worried about it. I can see the future and it scares me. Lately hubby is been good...just changing. He follows me from room to room like a shadow. And to be honest drives me crazy but I let him. He doesn't ever say he is hungry but if I go to the kitchen and get a Keurig he wants one. If I get a bowl of cereal he wants one. Everything I get he wants and yes I fix him meals. But with my stomach problems I don't eat what he needs but he still wants what I do and eat. He no longer can get the grandkids juice or milk out of the refrigerator. He is limited on more things every week. He sleeps good no nightmares or weird dreams. No screaming or yelling as his meds are controlling that. We were at our youngest son's house in Asotin and I asked hubby to take garbage to the dumpster and it was dark and he got lost. I finally found him but he can no longer take garbage out. He is getting harder and harder to talk to so most of the time. I try to talk but he gets real confused as he can't process what it is all meaning. He is getting to where he does not stand up straight even if I try to get him to. He shuffles his feet more when walking...he sleeps quite a bit....and having more problems trying to eat. But the good news is he is still here. And some days he can visit...our 8 year old grandson sets and talks to his grandpa for a long time. He just talks and talks and grandpa just smiles. Gabe enjoys visitng with grandpa....well we will see what the Lord has in store for us this coming year. He holds us in his hands and we will just follow his leading.

Removing and replacing our old pathway

-
Image
 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens....

Vintage 1960 "Sunny Suzy" ironing board

 I purchased this little ironing board, with it's original cover and iron from the lady who purchased it in 1960. She had it put away for her daughter who never got to use it.  So it was kinds sad for her to sell it but I just fell in love with the bright colors of it.  The legs are a little stiff to put up and down, and a little tarnish in places but just a fun little item.  This was back when little ones used to watch their momma's iron.  Not to much of that being done now-a-days, but a great item. This one is newer and I find it's just a great little one, it also comes with an extra holder for the iron.  So sweet and they both can be folded down flat. These will be on sale on a couple web sites and also if still available at the Nez Perce Fair Building on February 16, 2012 at our first vendor showing for the year....
