Hi, everybody!
We're still doing good here in Snowflake. Dad helped Linda and me put up trellis on the hill behind their house yesterday for about an hour. He sat on a stool and cut pieces of wire for us. He wanted to help so bad, but his strength is still not very good. He would cut two pieces of wire, then sit and stare at the wire for a few minutes until I came and took the cut pieces and showed him how to cut some more, then he would cut a few more pieces, then sit and stare at the wire. Dad apologized over and over again for not being able to think clearer, and he kept taking responsibility for everything that didn't work out right. Actually, it was just hard getting the trellis to stay where we wanted it to, but dad thought it was his fault. I was sorry that he realized that he wasn't working as hard as he used to, and that he understood that his brain wasn't functioning right, but on the other hand, his recognizing that is a good sign, isn't it? Anyway it was wonderful having him outside helping us for a while. I just hope we didn't wear him out too much.
Have a good day, everybody, and know that we love and think about you all. Thanks for being such a wonderful family,
Love, Aunt Gale
