Steven to the Rescue

Marilyn also has a memory problem and writes umpteen notes to help.  For years Steven has a tablet on Jeannes TV Stand that tells her what to do at what time and helps keep her up on what is happening at Treeo, Dr Appts, Visits, entertainment.  It is a program he found in which a programmer developed it for his own mother or grandmother, not sure which.

Anyway it is called "Dementia Diary" and so Debbie gave the go ahead on buying a Table and Steven bought the best for the least at Walmart and set it up for Marilyn as well.  I will keep up and changes or additions for the day, week, etc.  

And I do it on my big IMAC so it is easy to see and work with.  Yea, thanks to Steven for his knowledge and willingness to help and thanks to me for being wise enough to get the IMAC so it is easier for me to be of help.

Christmas Luau, Golden, Colorado, 2015

The Foothills Ward had a Christmas Luau tonight and the food was prepared by a Samoan family in the ward.  There was a tuna cream cheese mixture wrapped in a green leaf which was excellent, yellow potatoes, a pineapple and meat sauce over rice, oranges, pineapple.  I thought the food was excellent but no dessert.  No problem, Marilyn and I have so many goodies at home, we do not need more.

 For entertainment a couple who recently came back from Fiji had people use the sticks to make music (Jingle Bells) and then the larger sticks for people to dance in between and outside.  They enjoyed that a lot.  Bobby, the organist, also had a kind of karaoke that worked well.  She walked around with a mike and had people since part of the song "Feliz Navidad".  We went home before they started the dancing to a DJ but he had good music all evening long.  There was a huge turnout, filled about 30 or more tables.
