Hello From Rockville fplatzer@mywdo.com

This morning was a rush I slept in until 7:30 (not on purpose) and my hair cut appointment was for 8. Oh, did I rush even showered and was a little early, I'm glad she is about five min away. The day was really nice, I cleaned up all my "dead" flowers around my patio and planted the mums Megan gave me for my birthday, they are so pretty I hope they come up in the spring.

Harlan called me this morning and wanted to know where I was as he hadn't seen me for a while, when I explained I had been to see him yesterday and reminded him we had gone to church at the Chapel at the VA he said he remembered and I really think he did.

When I went in to see Harlan he was up and waiting for me. For our treat today we went to The Pizza Ranch and decided to try something different, Cactus bread, we won't do that again. It was good but too sweet and too much for just Harlan and me. It would be good for breakfast, it was much like having a Danish with cinnamon and frosting and served up like an 8" coffee cake.

Tonight a young lady from the Rockville fire department came to help us set up a plan if we ever have an emergency such as a fire or some other disaster. The sad part is not everyone showed up, it is so hard to get people involved, but this was something we needed to do. We all have patio doors we can get out of but if we get very much snow that exit may be blocked. We talked about an alternative plan and to use some kind of a buddy system.

Today was a good day for Harlan and I, it seems the antidepressant is helping him, at least for now he doesn't seem nearly as depressed and his mind seems sharper. Tomorrow will be another day and we'll see how that goes.............Fran
