Here are all the paintings before we Set it all up. Just thought I would show you how they looked. One of them is by a Fellow Alzheimer's friend and then there is an item made by an artist next to it made to complement it. The buyer bids on both, and gets both in the auction. I am not sure who made all of them, My friend libby's is in the middle on the left, and mine on the right. I have no idea which ones sold for what prices, as long as something was made to go towards research, I am happy. I am honored that some paint and paper i doodled on two years ago made it this far. Anything I could do to make a difference is awesome and a blessing from God.

I am not sure how many more day's I have left. I would like to keep making a difference as long as God wills it, to be so...

May God bless you all and keep you safe.

May none of you suffer the loss of a family member to this devastating illness.

I had a dream last week , that a cure would be found. but not until after I was gone. If that is God's will. So let it be...

As long as a cure is found...

 

This last week really wore us out.

I am home with shingles, and My wonderful wife Karen is home with a stomach Virus. She is miserable God bless her....

Memories in the making is a great program it is everything it says it is. I was honored to have my painting up there. I was also honored to have had an artist chose mine and paint a painting to go with mine and donate it for the auction.

The event was nice. I wish I had felt better so I could have enjoyed it more. But it was still nice. MY wife's company was there and some of our Friends from ALZ where there. My buddy Libby had her family there and they had their own big table. it was nice to see them all supporting her. She was the one that set up the paintings and asked for the video.. As far as I can tell, we are both in the same stage... Not enough time in the day... Things get away from us... We get started on a lot of things, but finishing things seems to be the challenge...
Most days I get up with an agenda, then wonder where the heck the time went...
one minute its 6 am, next minute its bedtime???
Time, it not on my side, nor is gravity lol.. Gravity is EVIL...
Some day's I almost think my mother is here as a polterguist and is moving stuff on me just to mess with my mind.
this morning i went out to my truck to get my laptop bag.came inside and... where the heck's my laptop??
on the drivers seat???
That sort of thing happens more and more now..
2 years ago I drove to midland one day, Odessa another, then San Angelo, then Wichita falls then Stevensville another.. now, if i am lucky, I might handle one trip to San Angelo a week... Although a few weeks ago I was going to San Angelo three days a week,, it wore me out fast...
I start winding down about 2 now
it used to be 5, then 4 then 3 now its 2
of course I am not even sure I actually ever go to sleep...
I lay there, but my mind never shuts  up...
I lay down,  its 11pm, and BAM its 3:00 am and I have to get up and go to the restroom.. (old man bladder)..
Then, of course, i use my phone to see so, I simply have to play my bubble games, which means now its 4am and the alarms are going off, now the dogs barking, the sheep start baaaaaaaing and its time to go feed the sheep and walk the dog.... Karen walks the Dog.. I feed the sheep...
Karen gets up at the but crack of dawn every day except one.
I never know what day that is going to be.. it is either Saturday, OR Sunday...
So that means I wake up at the same time.
that used to mean I had to get up and help make the bed, but these day's she lets me stay in bed. Shes a kinder gentler wife now :)

Today she was up early, went to work.. Adn then ended up coming back home sick.
I hate it when she is sick.
 I feel useless..
I want to make her better...
But I just have to leave her alone, because that's how she gets better.....
That is NOT easy for me to do
I am a doter... I want to wait on her head to toe,,, fluff her pillows get her food, message her feet, get her medicine feed her etc....
 Make her better ASAP!!!!
But I don't know what to do so;
  I feel like a paper weight...

I have about 6 gazillion things started so, I guess I better go try really hard to finish at least one of them lol...

 For my reader that said i never say I

There ya go I said I a lot LOL

First person, complied with..

Love you all,
Cause Jesus told me too.....
And I love him, so I love you all too...
YES YOU TOO!!!

This is my painting that was matched by another artist with a much better painting  for tonight's show.
I know mine is nothing to look at, but at least it got a few bids, and got purchase.

VIDEO UPDATE!

  OK, I think I will try to change the file into a movie file and post it here tomorrow

I am so sorry for the inconvenience.

I will put the one from the stepping out up first, then the corrected one, once it is corrected.

Thank you everyone.

Updated this to show the other painting...
