I went to see Mom and Dad today.  I waited until after 11:30 so they would be awake.  They were in the dining room when I got there waiting on their food (as usual!).  Dad seemed fine.  He still had a cough, but he seemed to feel okay.  He said, "Hey, Patsy" when I walked in so that's a good sign.  I still didn't understand a lot he said, but that's nothing new.  I told Judy when I got there, there was a man named Alvin pulled up to Dad's chair and he was being very ugly to Dad.  He kept trying to get Dad to get a hold of him and when he would, the man would try to hit him!  I went and got Nikkie and told her that this man was very mean and I didn't want him around Dad.  She said that he was mean to everyone , but especially Dad.  I told her to keep him away!  After she moved him over by himself, he kept yelling at Nikkie, "Who's in charge here?"  and she would say me and he would say, "Well, you haven't done a damn thing but stand there!"  I had to laugh even though he was so hateful!  I'm telling you he must be the bully of the nursing home.  I was not happy about that situation.  Mother was Mother - slumped over in her wheelchair with her eyes closed.  She would mumble occassionally, but that's about all.  I got Dad and the other 3 people at their table coffee.  The man said, "But I don't have any money!" and I told him he didn't need any and that he could have all he wanted.  Well, I ended up getting him 3 cups!  hee hee!  Anyway, not too bad a visit.  Mother still had on the flowered capris and a blue pullover shirt.  I don't understand the clothes situation.  Why would we have to label everything and list everything if they just ignore it all.  Stupid!  Okay, I guess I'll go for now.'
Oh, I got a new car yesterday!  It is awesome and I absolutely love it .  It's a Nissan Juke - loaded with everything!  It looks like a cross between a sports car and an SUV.   Google "Nissan Juke photos" and look at it!  I am stylin'!!!  love you, pat
