Conversation

When John gets his dad up and sets him at the edge of his bed, Jean is disoriented, and he almost always asks, "Where am I?"

The other day, John responded with, "You're in the United States of America."

Jean said, "Well what do you know. I've been there before."

John said, "The USA is a big place. So you're in Kentucky."

Jean: "Where is that?"

John: "In the middle. Not in the north, not in the south."

Jean. "Where is it then?"

John: "In the middle."

Jean: "I'll take two of them."


                                                 *************

A different day -   John:  "Are you hungry?"

Jean: "I don't know. I never went to school."

John: "Yes, you did. You played on the football team. You played half-back."

Jean: "What about the other half?"


                                                 *************

Jean, sitting at his table, asked, "Who's Mary?"

John: "Mary who?"

Jean pointed to writing on one of the mugs in front of him.

John: "That says 'Merry Christmas'."

Jean: "Who's she?"

 This lovely card and message arrived the other day. Well said.  Jean was pleased. He said, "That was nice of him."

What Do You Think?

      Ad on the back of an old National Geographic of Jean's. Haha. Couldn't resist posting it.

Happy Birthday

  It was a good birthday for Jean yesterday.  Thank you for the calls and cards and kind thoughts and  wishes.
 He was quite alert in the morning, and was able to speak on the phone a little bit. He understood that  it was his  birthday. Friend Roy came by in the afternoon and sang a couple of songs for him. Julee  and June sent the beautiful tulips.
        Thank you, all!
