CAREGIVER NOTE:

A smile, a few moments of laughter, a good night’s sleep and a rub on the dog’s head a couple of times during the course of his day. Loves his hot dogs and sauerkraut for lunch. Would likely eat it for a second meal if offered that day. Enjoys watching the news — has little interest in much else at the moment. Stories from long ago and “visits” with family members long gone make up most of the conversation when he wants to share what he’s been thinking about.

The weather is changing — Fall temps have arrived as have the rains. No AC needed yesterday and today, we might need to switch the heat on to keep things a little more comfortable for him.
