There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US
1 John 4: 9-10

He likes it!!!

My son likes his grill and he said he thought it was something to work on a car with. When he got closer he saw one of the wheels and than thought it might be a grill. The last few Birthdays I did get him tools and ramps for his car. He works on it all the time and I hated him using my dads old tools and jacks so I have been slowly buy him new stuff. But this time I really surprised him. Car Jacks scare me to death . That is why I got him the ramps you just drive the car onto . They look a lot safer.
So far we have had hot dogs and hamburgers . Today we are having grilled chicken breast. What a nice present for him and me. LOL!
Mom's new Doctor came to visit yesterday. And she has a new Social Worker who also came yesterday. They seem nice. I liked the old ones but I will like these too. Mom does not care either way . I do get tired of them asking me the same question over and over. When anyone new comes around they ask me if mom is sleeping , And do I get enough rest, Do I get out, Do I have help with mom, How long have I been caring for mom and how long has she had Alzheimer's. OK, why don't they write this stuff down I am sick of it. 
On another note. It is HOT!!!  I had to turn the air on. And Thank Goodness it worked. Today it is going to be in the 90's. And I thought time for the air. Last year a repair man told me the AC was toast and I needed a new one . I told him we had to wait. And when he left I turned it on and it has worked every since. Don't know what he did to it but it works. For now anyway. Time to get mom up. Have a great weekend.
