My goodness it’s cold here, 5 degrees yesterday morning. We have been mostly hunkered down in hibernation mode. Lots of cookies, soups and keeping the kitchen warm with the oven going. Mom wants to help, but lately even cutting veg is too difficult. Trying to putter around with me, scraping dishes and counters with her fingernails.

I cut apart last years 2019 family picture calendar and took a sharpie to every picture labeling people for her to tell who everyone is. But besides being able to see herself in pictures, most family are unrecognized anymore. But she still fakes it a lot. It has to be frustrating, knowing she should know who these people are, but not able to remember.
