Hello From Rockville fplatzer@mywdo.com

Just as I was ready to go in to see Harlan he called, he wanted to know if I needed any help, I wasn't sure what he meant and he explained that if I needed to gas up the car or if I needed help grocery shopping he was available would love to help me. My thought was how thoughtful of him and I told him I was sure I could use his help as I need to go to the grocery store. When I got into see him he was laying down but got up immediately and was ready to go. I am bringing a tray of fresh veggies and dip for our Thanksgiving social pot-luck on Thursday and I needed to pick up fresh vegetables. He likes to push the cart, it gives him support when he walks and he gets the plastic bags to put the stuff in. After our trip to the grocery store we went to McD for coffee and cookies again, he has gained enough weight that I may have to get him new jeans they are getting too hard for him to button so we need to forgo the pie, pizza and ice cream for a while.

He does not understand why he can't just go outside when ever he wants to so the locked doors to the stairs bug him, I think he tries them occasionally and they won't open, I'm thankful for that.

Today was a good day and Harlan was a joy to be with and I'm so thankful for each and every day we have together, so until tomorrow, Good Night..........Fran
