Today I started out real early at 9AM to go down to Alby and visit my Mom. Since there are roadworks on almost every road out south from Stockholm I figured that if I went early on a Saturday it would be smother and it actually was :-)
So I arrived to my Mom's elderly home by 9.30 and the staff told me she was on the run?! To Hawaii :-) OK she was at the hairdresser getting a long overdue haircut. So I went down and when she saw me her face lit up and she said with a big smile: Oh, it's you. That is much coming from her. I don't know if I had said it before but she has Alzheimers and had a stroke when I was in LA so it's not all the times she recognize me nor that she can talk. So after she had her haircut I went for a walk with her, she's in a wheelchair, almost down to the lake. It was a very nice day, warm and sunny although we had some rain in the early hours of the morning.
Here's a photo of her. Isn't she beautiful? She even smiles on the photo :-)
Then we went back to her room and had coffee which her contactperson so kindly came with. Mom drank a whole glass of juice, a cup of coffee and even had a cake :-) After a couple of hours it was time for me to go and she was so sad and almost cried but I said I will come back. She kissed me several times and then she waved as I went.
Then off to Danniel to have lunch with him. Today we ate in his apartment and I had bought burgers for him and chicken nuggets for me. Good lunch and it's always nice chatting with him :-)
Then back home again around 2.30 PM when Hasse suddenly said: Can't we go to IKEA and I of course said yes. So off we went. We thought there wouldn't be that many there since the weather was so nice but we were wrong!! There were so many there. I don't know why they can't go swimming instead ;-)
We didn't buy a lot of things but some small things we needed (and some extras as always when on IKEA)
So now we are back home again. I'm all exhausted, just had dinner - Taco pie - and I'm ready to sit down and watch some TV.
I hope you all had a great Saturday. Talk to you soon!
