Sad news: Harvey Evans has died. I used to see him around town. I had no idea he was 6 years older than I.

Oh, no.

I'm at my sister's and no guests have arrived, yet.

George · « **Reply #124 on:** December 25, 2021, 02:33:05 PM »

I'm sure they will...eventually.

Here's our feast spread:

The white papers in the upper right corner contain mini rounds of four different flavors of brie cheese that we got from Costo.

Time to eat!

George · « **Reply #128 on:** December 25, 2021, 02:36:49 PM »

We're not waiting...the guests can eat when they get here.

It was pleasant walking in clear weather today. I am sure the rain will return soon. We were happy to see neighbors walking since we hadn't seen them in awhile. We stopped and had a longish visit.

Loved him. Saw him in Barnum and later in La Cage.

Harvey was also the tar in Dames at Sea on TV. And a dancing chimney sweep in Mary Poppins' big Step in Time number.

Darling Daughter has come and gone. We stayed in, had a grand time reminiscing, looking at photographs, watching some of those driving videos, laughing, and she had some spaghetti and tuna pasta salad. She brought me two loafs - one cherry, one pumpkin, a fun mat with a walk of fame star on it with my name, some cookies, some caramels (she makes the loafs and other stuff herself), and two lottery scratchers. The first was a no-go, the second I get a free ticket.

Sorry to hear about Harvey - a lovely man and if you never read the interview we did when Follies was released on our CD, it's still up at kritzerland.com

I'm having some tuna pasta salad - no spaghetti for me.

Daughter forgot to take the big container of sauce I had for her.

I'll do a little viewing, and then I'll try to do an hour of writing on the project with David Wechter.

Great gifts, and of course this best gift is having her there with you.

And I left a bag of cookies at the house where I had Christmas dinner. I'll get them Wednesday.

Mom had another fall today. Thankfully, it was minor.

My sister Annaliese and her husband made it to Louisville. While there, they were able to get her a cane with four feet on the bottom. A lot of the folks at the theater where I usher use those. They seem to be good.

John G. · « **Reply #141 on:** December 25, 2021, 05:21:02 PM »

Mom is also not drinking enough fluids, which is affecting her mental state. She's fuzzy when she doesn't drink, more lucid when she does.

John G. · « **Reply #142 on:** December 25, 2021, 05:21:23 PM »

But she hates the act of drinking, so she doesn't do it.

What a relief. I hope that is good enough, and that she uses it.

Hopefully this is why she is falling and she will make an effort to drink more. I once read we get less thirsty as we get older. Sometimes I have something a little bit salty to make me thirsty.

Oh no. Does she like soup? Too bad melons are currently out of season.

DR John G., confusion is a sign of a bladder infection in older people.

I don't understand that, but medical folks tell me that's one of the first things they check for in older people.

We had such a relaxing dinner at my son and DIL's house. Well, for me it was relaxing. Not for her, probably.

I could do that every year now.

Interesting. I would think you would hurt if you had a bladder infection.
