Hello From Rockville

Today the support group met at the VA, we always meet at 1:00 after that I go up to see Harlan. Tomorrow will be our coldest day so far this fall, but we have no snow so that's good.

I spent the afternoon with Harlan, first a trip to the bank then a stop to fill the car and last a treat.  We had our treat at the Park Diner, Harlan a hot fudge sundae and me a glass of Sprite.  When ever we stop there Harlan always goes back to wash his hands and the waitress many times will stop to chat and she sits where Harlan sits, when he comes back she tells him she is just keeping his seat warm, today when he came back there she was sitting "to keep his seat warm".  My comment when he came back, "She never keeps my seat warm, see how you rate!"  I decided my hands needed washing and when I got back my seat was being kept warm.  She had quite a conversation with him, he told her he had known me a hundred years and had been married that long and they all were wonderful years, memory loss has it's blessings!
They have started rerouting traffic on Veterans drive on the bridge going over the river, it will go down to one lane of traffic each way , I understand it will be like this for a long time, what a mess.  I will find a different way to get to the VA to see Harlan.  
See you all tomorrow........Fran
