“I usually don’t talk to my friends this way but I want you to know you are a special friend. I really like you. You’re really kind. If I ever get married, I hope she is as nice as you.”

Whenever we complete something, even washing the table, he sing songs, “Just like new when we get thru.”

I think this is part of a TV commercial here in Canuckville. He knows he’s being humorous and I do laugh because it catches me off guard – I look at him and he’s got the biggest smile of satisfaction on his face.

Yesterday we were at the church thrift store buying paper backs (yup, needs more books!). The ladies all know he has Alzheimer’s and are very kind. He will try to pay twice, etc. Anyway, one lady he likes reached for his $10.00 bill as he offered it. I nearly died of embarrassment – he moved it slightly out of reach and had a most flirtatious smile on his face.

Bless her heart, she laughed in shock, I think. Did run back in and apologize afterward. “We” are at a point where I’m going to be cautious about going out shopping.
