Valentines Day
Mom had a GREAT Valentine's Day! Marilyn Rose said she was as sharp as she been since all of this started! Aunt Dora was so happy to see her this "up" as she has been so worried about Aunt Velma of late. Mom "held court" laughing and telling jokes. She talked about my visit on Thursday and many other topics. She is not like this very often but these days make up a lot for the down days. She talked about Marilyn Rose's kids and really enjoyed the conversation. But her mind did not remember Marilyn Rose's name. That is just the way it is. After two hours she was wearing down and it was lunch time so she put off returning Dawnetta's call. Don't write her off as she is a tough old gal!
