An evening walk with Jewel

I took a walk with rocket this evening, its still very hot and I'm terminally bored most evenings.  So tonight I decided to take a walk and this delightful elderly woman met up with me on the street behind ours.  She wanted to walk with me and rocket and she felt that she had met us before.  Of course I hadn't met her but I agreed how nice it was to see each other again and she asked if we could walk to her Mom's house tonight who would then give us a ride home.  It didn't take me long to understand that she probably had alzheimers or dementia but we strold along talking about how beautiful rocket was and how much her son loved dogs and would bring them home every chance he got. She understood that we had not met before at some point and we introduced ourselves, her name being Jewel (her mother named her that when she was a baby because she was so special) after a  block or so I sensed she was getting tired and we turned about to return to her home that she shares with her son, who is elderly himself.  He thanked me for returning her and he brought out water for rocket, of course I already knew that he loved dogs and this was Jewels proof, it made her very proud.  She hoped that I would stop by again for a walk and I just might do that, but knowing how alzheimers works I have some doubt that she will remember me but I myself want to remember Jewel with her quick step and sincere conversation.  She was so right when she observed how nice it was to walk with your friend.

I'm taking over

Ok this was started as Cassidy blog but she is doing other wonderful things so I think I'll take this over.
Just got home today from a wonderful sta-cation with Lisa and girls and Deb and girls.  We went to the Golden Nugget and enjoyed the pool.  Bob sprang for a Cabana and we all enjoyed the day swimming in the pool, chatting and sun bathing.  I think Cassidy went down the slide 15+ times and after her initial hesitation I think that she was an old pro.  Why Lily, lily is a water bug we swam and swam, her in her pink little inner tube she went all over the pool with me and her mom.  Tony came down but was not feeling well, he's had a cough for weeks but Lisa decied to leave early and take him to the Doc.  turns out he has pnuemonia so that sucks.  Kaysey brought Mason down and him and I swam, he was afraid to go up to the shark tank at first but when he relized that the sharks and fish were not able to get into the pool he was delighted and we sat over there for a long time looking at the fish until his teeth were chattering from the cold.  We had a little dinner and she had to head home.  I love getting this little time with the kids and grandkids, always the knowledge that they are all growing up very quickly.  Bob was up in Elko and danny was away at football camp so we were missing them.
