Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson disease journey

-

 Been a while for hubby to have a bad night. Not sure if it's because of being so busy the last few days. I know he hasn't been feeling well but nothing big. But last night I was asleep and he was in his room and began yelling...more just yelling than screaming...I was told by the neurologist to let him be so I did. As long as he doesn't hurt himself. He yelled and yelled and then settled down and then again...this went on three times. Then he got up and started walking the house. I stayed in bed and just listened. He then went back to bed. Now I am wide awake...I try and try to figure out what triggers these episodes....was it something he watched on TV so acting it out, was it because he didn't feel good, was it because we were so busy the last few days. Not sure. I was planning on leaving him for 2-3 hours tonight while I take the grand kids to the circus. But now I think I might need to have someone come set with him. Will see if grandson could come by. He is asleep and I will let him sleep as much as he wants today...but I am exhausted. But carrying on....the song goes "One day at a time sweet Jesus that's all I am asking of you...just give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do....God bless.

Removing and replacing our old pathway

-

 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....
