Out for a walk with mom

Monday, October 10, 2016
Mom was sitting with the gang watching the news. I asked Donna if she wanted to go to the park, but she said she was too tired.  I took mom with me to her room.  I combed her hair and put her in a jacket.  She said the jacket was too warm, but I knew she would be cold so I even brought an extra jacket.  Sure enough once we got outside, I had to put her in two jackets.
There were only 3 dogs at the dog park.  I asked mom to walk closer to the fence, but she didn't want to walk in the grass.  She came, but she didn't think it was worth the effort to see the dogs close up.
We went for a short walk to the playground.  I wanted mom to try the swings, but she said it was too cold so we went back.  She said she was busy today, but she couldn't tell me what she had done.
She was relieved to join her friends in television room.
I put mom's coats in the closet and grabbed a couple of decks of cards.  Then, I put some chairs around the table where Shanta was sitting.  I asked the gang it they wanted to play cards.  Mom had no idea what I was talking about.  Donna didn't seem very excited.  She had her legs up on her walker.  Anna was very enthusiastic and so was Michael.
They seem to have trouble differentiating between spades and hearts and hearts and clubs.  Anyways they were having a lot of fun.  They didn't even care about cocoa time.  They complained it was too sweet.
