CAREGIVER NOTE:
He was willing to go for a ride in the car yesterday and go to lunch! We were very surprised he accepted the offer. He said he enjoyed the time out and the food was wonderful! He had his favorite….. RIBS, corn on the cob and a few fries. Not the healthiest menu, but it’s something he really enjoys! He was in good spirits and even put off his bedtime for a couple of hours to enjoy a couple of shows he hadn’t watched in a very long time… at least we were able to put CNN aside for a few hours yesterday and it was very delightful.

He was in good spirits for most of the day. Lots of smiles, a few chuckles and even a little teasing. No sundowning, though he did mention that the house seemed a little dark yesterday after coming back from lunch. There was some cloud cover outside, but I’m pretty sure it had to do with the fact that he didn’t want to use his sunglasses yesterday while he was out — and the house always seems a little darker after coming in from outside when he doesn’t wear the glasses.
