CAREGIVER NOTE:
We’re having a “small” family gathering this evening to honor him and our sons for Father’s Day. I hope he’ll enjoy the laughter and time together – at least for a little while. It shouldn’t be too hot nor too chilly for him to spend a little time outside with the “guys” and maybe share a story or too. He had no preferences for a gift — and he really doesn’t need much of anything, so we did get him a pie. A cherry pie. It’s definitely his preference for desserts when he asks.

He did get “lost” in the house a couple of times yesterday. Couldn’t find the bathroom or his bedroom. Thankfully, he was still in good spirits and not angry about this…. he even smiled when we teased him about letting the walker “show him the way,” but still refusing to use his temporary handrail and preferring “a pretty girl” to lead the way….

PS: He has enjoyed using the iPad for his Facetime calls. He can see the caller more easily and interacts a little better as well. Now, I just have to show him how to use the easel backing on the cover when he’s sitting at the table and has a hard surface to set it on.
