Regular Tuesday Visit

Saw Mother last night - she was in the kitchen for dinner but they brought her to the room soon after they saw me in the hall. She had told them she wanted to lie down but when she found me there she decided she wanted to stay up. I fed her peaches and strawberries I had brought - she was quite dull and her eyes were glazed a bit but she was "in" there. She didn't talk but kept looking to see how much more fruit there was for her to finish. We sat in her darkened bedroom and watched a little television, prepared some clothes for the next 5 days and just sat. We went out on the front porch and up the hill to check on "Judy?" I think her name is - she was parked in her chair at the top of the hill and I was concerned. She said she just wanted some fresh air and enjoyed the heat (and it WAS hot!) cuz it was cold inside. She apparently came to Columbia Cottage from her own home in Rockford above Valley Avenue...she knew Les and Norma Buckalew - said Col Buckalew had helped her out many many times. I must get their email address from Neal - or write Robbie and hope she responds, have not heard from her in soooo long.
Left Mother about 8:20 - she said she wanted to lie down and then she didn't. I imagine it hurts to have them transfer her to the bed. Told her I loved her numerous times - she smiles and gets tickled sometimes. Good for her!
Haven't read anymore of FINAL GIFTS so nothing to contribute in that "vein"....
