I took all kinds of fresh fruit, juice and snacks when Wayne was first admitted.

Lately I spend at least one meal with him and see why he hasn’t been eating his treats! He doesn’t need them.

I’m really impressed with the quality and variety of food offered including 2 snacks mid morn and afternoon.

Today we had a lady sit at our table, her mind absorbed about her husband. She kept saying she knew he wasn’t dead but where was he, could he find her, would he know where to look, etc.

Food was the last thing on her mind and it took some mighty persuasion to get her to eat. After I tucked Wayne in for his nap I told the desk I was on my way. They thanked me immensely for helping her – I didn’t really think about it at the time but a staff would have had to sit and feed her.

It’s very strange being alone at the house. One lunch, I decided to make comfort food – what but KD?

I always add chili and mushroom soup to it (after it is prepared).

Sat down to eat my KD and thought it just didn’t taste good, not a delicious treat like Wayne and I used to enjoy. Ate a few spoons of it, tossed it in the garbage. Looking up, I saw the cheese packets, unopened, sitting on the counter:) Ahhhhh.

Our sons were not fond of KD so when the youngest spread his wings, Wayne and I “dined” on KD that night – we didn’t need to feel guilty feeding ourselves this treat.

Looking back I remember when our older son left home, I walked down the entry with my feet pushing down the backs of my runners – my sister was really perplexed as she remembered my telling the guys not to do this. Told her I could do it just once being no one could see me!
