Hello From Rockville fplatzer@mywdo.com

Today was a quiet day. I went in to the VA before 1:00 as the support group for memory loss meets at 1:00. Today we planned our Christmas luncheon, it will be in two weeks and we'll bring things to snack on just light eating, coffee will be served and we have a room to use in the basement of building 51, the first building Harlan was in.

Harlan called me several times while I was at our meeting, I didn't answer, he was quiet anxious for me to get in to see him as Pastor Campbell had stopped to see him and he thought I should be there too. Usually when Pastor stops to see Harlan I am there, I'm sorry I missed him. Harlan like Pastor Campbell and I think Harlan's spirits are lifted with his visits, I know mine are.

Before I went in I set up my bread maker up to bake a loaf of bread, it was nearly done when I got home and it smelled so good when I walked in the door.

We had pop corn in the dinning room at the VA before we left for our treat at Perkins. Today Harlan had a piece of Carmel apple pie but he skipped the ice cream and I had a bowl of chicken noodle soup, he had hot chocolate and I had coffee.

He does let me know he wishes he could leave with me when I go home but he doesn't dwell on it, and I always assure him I'll be back tomorrow.

They tell me takes all his meds as he should and he does seem okay with being there. Some days he doesn't want to eat and if he skips a meal or so that is okay too as his weight seems okay.

Enough for today, Good Night.....Fran
