When I got home tonight I heard this story and had to giggle. Auntie said a couple of ladies were here this afternoon to visit with her and Mom. According to Auntie, one lady was leaning over Mom and talking "quite a bit". Now, Alzheimer's patients don't typically respond well to the "too close - too much" thing. It was a little strange because the lady has been here many times and isn't normally so.....chatty.
When she was leaving, she walked about 6 feet away from Mom and Mom looked at Auntie and "loudly" proclaimed "Hmm, she should be on the radio". LOL.
God love Momma, that sarcastic little spark is still in there somewhere ;)
Two weeks ago I received a sweet little package from Kim at Field of Dreams blog. I mentioned it but I don't think I shared the pic of this sweet little stack of hearts.
They are so cute and Kim was so thoughtful to send them to me. And today when I got home I had another treat in the mail from Lesa. She knows I'm a Downton Abbey fan so she sent me this calendar and beautiful card.
Thank you to both ladies. Bloggers are the sweetest, most generous people.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad your Mom can still be a little sparky.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had a good day.
I love the calendar and the card what a sweet friend.
I hope you are having a good week.
It's the same with my aunt, although she doesn't have Alzheimer's. She will be sort of helpless and vague, and then all of a sudden she'll come out with a zinger. I guess every so often her brain engages and sparks. I love when that happens.
ReplyDeleteYes, I heard Obrian is leaving, too ~ I love that show just like it is ~ I don't embrace change! Funny about your mom ~ let's yu know she's still in there somewhere!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a group of sweet blogggers!
ReplyDeleteThat stack of hearts is pretty darn sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh what a great story! And she sounds like my kind of smart alec, hehe! It's true, bloggers really are the best people!
ReplyDeleteSweet gifts you have there girl! I'm glad your mom had a good time visiting with her friends.
ReplyDeleteThat had to make a typical Monday so much more fun! Love the gifts..bloggers are the best!
ReplyDeleteHa!! Had to laugh at your mom's reaction...those moments where they are exhausted by someone else or my mom even rolls her eyes at others sometimes! Priceless, right!!?
ReplyDeleteOne of mom's sitters was a chatty thin lady of 5'1" and mom was 5'10". After listening to story after story, mom called me to her room and said "how long is this little runt going to be here?".
ReplyDeletelol! Gotta love it! :-)
ReplyDeletePretty and thoughtful gifts too!
Lol, that is funny! Very nice gifts from your blogging friends.
ReplyDeleteGood for mom. I'm glad she still has that spark and comic relief.
ReplyDeleteMy mom in law had dementia but never lost her sharp wit! Some of her sayings were priceless and have now become family lore.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have so many good friends and support.
I do agree about our blogging friends. They are the best.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoy the calendar, and those little hearts are sweeeet! I had to chuckle at your mom's wit and there are a couple of comments that had me chuckling too. My grandmother lived with us as she progressed in dementia, but I wouldn't have traded those times, even with the problems. We were so blessed to have Grandmother with us.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your mom still has that sarcastic spark in her. That's just too funny.
Kim H. is a very thoughtful blogger friend and she always manages to pick the right time to pick me up.
Have a great week and thanks for sharing a little bit of humour.
Hugs,
JB
