Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson disease journey

-

 Well I went for my walk...came home got hubby up and wanted to go get groceries from WinCo before time for grandkids swimming lessons. We get to WinCo all happy and having a nice time...filled the cart and got up to pay. I put all the groceries on the ramp and a lady in front of me asked me a question. So I stopped and talked to her...when I turned around hubby and the empty cart are gone. But it's our turn for the cashier. I see through the people hubby leaving the store...all smiling with a empty cart. I turn to the lady behind me and I said "My hubby has dementia he is leaving the store I have to go"...she puffs out ..... "welllllllll" like she was really irritated....I tell the cashier I have to run get him...cashier says" that's fine, go"....the lady behind me is so irritated and complains to the cashier...as I go running between people to get Brent. When I get to him outside...he is real confused....but he can't run due to Parkinson so we slowly walk back in.. when we get back to the cashier he is real nice and lets me pay and back my groceries the whole time people are looking at what was going on....me...I begin to cry....eyes filling with tears...hubby doesn't notice....not sure if it's pride, sorry about hubby's disease or just old lady hormones...but I cried all the way home....what a life we live.

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....
