It's always nice to get my dad out on a beautiful, sunny day. He gets cold easily, however, and because it was quite windy, I suggested he wear a coat. As usual, Kevin and I took him to the BP where we can get a donut and coffee or croissant.. I took along the February issue of British History magazine and read the article about the Royal Navy. Dad has always loved ships, so I knew he would find the article interesting.
We all enjoy reading, so we often sit with each other, drink coffee, and read. I feel more engaged with my dad when reading to him. Gus will have to get us more of those 'conversation starter cards.' :-) British History magazine gives us many varied and interesting articles. I try to pick up the latest issue when we get to the bookstore in Eau Claire. Unfortunately, they don't carry many copies, so sometimes they're all gone by the time I get there.

...and my biggest fan. :-)
When you said you pushed him back to the Nursing home, I was picturing you pushing him all the way from your house! I was quite impressed with this accomplishment, until I realized you were just talking about a block in TOWN. :D I am too scatter-brained these days!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of 'pushing,' aren't you supposed to be delivering a baby about now?? C'mon...We're waiting! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you guys. We're praying that all goes well.
My friend, I think this is my most favorite post ever of your's. I love seeing the photos of your dad and especially you pushing your dad back to the nursing home. Stacey's post was very funny too...but I wouldn't have been surprised had you decided to push your dad further than across the street. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so right, he is a remarkable man (that has a remarkable daughter). :D
