THURSDAY WITH BETTY AND CAROLYN

And a good day with my dear niece and twin sister:  I skipped breakfast, instead sleeping until 8:30.  Just cleaned up a bit, and worked on the laptop until Carolyn at 10:30. After visiting for a bit, we left for Santa Barbara. Carolyn had an appointment, fo w went first to house, where I stayed with Calvin, Tony, and Drizzle* until she returned. In the meantime, I managed take a nap on the couch, which was refreshing. Before we left to see Betty, Carolyn gave me this precious Mothers Day gift:

It's the trophy Betty and I won in the Ventnor Baby Parade of 1937.

For lunch, we went to Cody's Cafe, where I had a good salad. Then it was off to Villa Alamar to see Betty. She was, as I had seen before, confused and unable to clearly communicate, but she is not unhappy and that's what we must remember. Carolyn has had a mural painted on Betty's wall and it's so serene:

Here are the twinnies and their 88-year-old trophy;

We stayed about 45 minutes, then she drove me home.

Had dinner with Kathie and Keith and when I got home about 6:30, I was tired and actually fell on my bed and slept for two hours. Got up, watched T.V. for two hour, then slept through the night. I'm not sure why I felt so exhausted, but I suspect, emotional stress.  

T.O.P.S. this morning and I don't feel like going, but I will.
