Hello From Rockville 

I made my usual trip to St. Cloud to spend time with Harlan and I had been there about 15 minuets when the following conversation took place -

Harlan:"Can we go out for a treat?"
Fran: "Where do you want to go?"

Harlan: " Can we go to that place that has those little hamburgers?"

Fran: "Sure".  It's cold you'll have to dress warm! We'll go to the Park Dinner for the hamburgers"

This is the first time I have taken Harlan out of the VA for quite some time.  When we got to the signal by the river he says, "If we go straight ahead we'd go to Perkins."  And then he asked, "Does she work or is this the week-end?"

We shared the sliders then back to the VA where we took a little rest then it was time for me to leave.  I helped him with his meds and stopped at the desk to check on his pain meds, he was able to walk from the elevator to the car with out pain, I didn't think the pain meds was necessary.

Each day I can spend with Harlan and enjoy the time with him is a blessing and this was one of those times....Fran
