Mr. Patterson is settling in just fine in his new environment. They keep them busy with activities and he is receiving regular therapy. He is very healthy physically but the disease has taken a toll on his memory. When we first arrived, he didn't know who John was but he thought he looked familiar at least.
Mrs. Patterson has rented a condo nearby. She says being on the beach is calming and waking up to this view Thursday morning made a believer out of me.
John and I returned from the beach on Thursday. Friday morning Mac and I headed to North Carolina to visit Barbara and her family. Callum had asked if I had any ideas for his Frankenstein costume, so I did some research and a little shopping before the trip. Callum, Barbara and I worked on his costume and it turned out really well. We didn't put it all together with make-up so I will add a picture to the blog later.
Little John visited while we were there as well and it was good to spend some time with him.
We attended Callum's soccer game Saturday morning.
Mac and John spent a lot time watching the Internet broadcast of an international tournament of their (current) favorite video game. Mac taught Callum how to play the game and the uncles took Callum to the park for some baseball.
I don't think Miss Jacquie ever stopped moving. She has a little path around the house and she went round-and-around all weekend.
Hubby couldn't make the weekend trip as he had committed to taking the Youth caving. He has plans this weekend with the Boy Scouts but I am staying home!
