Day 973

We  got up at 7 (via alarm).  After pet stuff and breakfast we left to do the laundry.

I called Mom at 9, but she didn't answer.  I tried again about every 10 minutes until we got up to 26 after 10.  She never answered, but an assistant did.  I told her to tell Mom to be ready in about half an hour.

We stopped at Hooch's place.  I did the pond and then removed a spider web from one of their cameras.  We also stopped at a consignment place to pick up stuff that didn't sell.

We were under time pressure because we needed to be at the window tinting place at 1.  We couldn't find her hearing aids, so we left without them.  It was interesting.  When we got there Mom was complaining about hurting.  Ellen suggested eating there, and suddenly Mom felt better.  She is loosing it mentally.  She couldn't recognize her tube of toothpaste even after I told her twice.

We left a little after 10:30.  All we had time for was lunch.  We got Mom back at 12:45 and made it to the tinting place with about 5 minutes to spare.  That was after taking a few more minutes to look for the hearing aids.

The tinting place was wonderful.  They did a great job in the time they said it would take.  We used most of the time to walk over to Safeway.  I bought some bananas.  Then we stopped by a pet store and bought Devon a toy and Lucy a treat.  The last stop was killing time at Jamba Juice.

We were ready to leave the tinting place about 2:30.  217 was a parking lot from Walker road south.  I5 was a parking lot from 217 to Wilsonville.  So we took Murray and cut across to 160th.  Then over to 170th, over the hill and down to Sherwood.  It was a parking lot a few blocks from 99, so we cut over and drove through Sherwood to Oregon street.  After that it was relatively clear sailing until we got on I5 at Wilsonville.  Traffic was still slow until we crossed the bridge.  All in all it took a little over an hour to get to Woodburn.  Not bad, considering.

When we got home we surfed for awhile and then went to the club.  We talked to the Heitlof's for awhile and then had dinner with them, Dave, and Vandy's parents.  Apparently Vandy is getting sicker.  After dinner we went back home and watched TV and read.
