Hyaciths and York peppermint mints...

Mom visited Dad today.  She found him in the lunch room, just finishing up his lunch. Afterward, she took him out on the patio to enjoy the day.  There was a slight breeze, so the short sleeve shirt , he had on with his jeans, did not keep him that warm.  Mom removed her cape and put it over his shoulders. She brought him some Hyaciths and York peppermint mints...

He loved the scent of the flowers, but was afraid someone might be allergic, telling her to take them home.  He gagged on the mints, telling her it was choking him.  Dad LOVES York mints...so he must have had a contrary day...

Dad was worried about everything being dangerous...so Mom kept the topics of conversation varied to side track him. He told her he was running for Vice President and he had to report to the Marine Corps for duty.  Mom went along, but reminded him he had already served four years, but he ignored her and kept on talking.

Dad's left eye looks irritated and Dad's Angel told Mom they were keeping an eye on it.  Mom noticed the afghan she made him, and the pictures from his wall of love were missing.  The Aide found them in his closet.  Mom put his cards in her purse to take home, along with one of his pajama tops with two buttons missing.

When Dad's Angel and one his favorite male attendants commented on how nice the flowers were, Dad decided he would keep them after all.  Dad told Mom he was walking now, and could even run...(maybe in his dreams...) and Mom cautioned him from running too fast...

Dad went on to tell Mom their daughter was making a movie and how he had tried to call her several times, but there was no answer. He told her how he enjoyed watching football on the Olympics, and Mom just told him she prefered the hockey. She is pretty quick on the uptake, but some times, Dad comes up with some comments, where Mom can only smile and nod her head.  He told her he would never do anything that his Angel told him not to do. Dad repeated that several times.

He reminded Mom, as she kissed him goodbye, to call him when she got home, because it was so dangerous out there...she promised she would and left the room as Dad was showing off his beautiful Hyaciths...
