D is for Drive and Destination


Three days a week I drive down Rte 104, across the Irondequoit Bay bridge and into the city of Rochester to the Friendly Home. Someone told me I should always take my camera along, so this week I did. No looking through a view finder when driving, just point and shoot, hope for the best, and straighten the photos later. Take a ride with me...






And here I am on East Avenue. The Friendly Home is technically in Brighton and has been around for over a hundred years. It is my weekly destination although my not so friendly lady is making me second guess this companion job... (Yesterday she called me a "piss pot." Why, you ask? Because it wasn't time to leave the dining room. Funny and not so funny all rolled into one.)

More ABC Wednesday here.

      Ha ha! Today she asked me if I wanted to die. (She was mad at me again. Same reason.) We were alone in her room and I told her to "bring it on" and she said, "No, I don't think I want to do that." She really is a pill.

    The trouble is people with dementia/Alzheimer's are not really responsible for what they say or do. It is a very sad disease really. There is a man in the home we volunteer at and he is always seem to be shouting obscenities. I love your photos :-)

      That is what makes it easy to forgive, Marilyn. It doesn't help much with the hours I spend just sitting alone with her. I'm not sure what I will do if it stays like this.

      So have I and I'm sure I will be again. It helps the skin thicken.

      I haven't taken it to heart. This is memory care and she soon forgets that she was mad at all.
