Enjoying special times
At the Adelaide Cancerian Club
The Club’s 21st
Nana’s 80th year
A son and grandson’s 24th birthday
And my 56th year
Such a lovely celebration
With three generations
It seemed impossible we could
All be 21!

Kate – sure you’re 21!!! You’re 21 with 35 years experience!! 😉 At least that’s my way of thinking about birthdays!!
(if you were really “as young as you feel” then unfortunately I’d be turning 100 or thereabouts!!)

I see parallels between the world and regional loss that we are going through right now. We are all fortunate – those who are not in immediate need regarding various life threatening disasters.
I am here in Washington State, USA. We on the eastern side of the state are experiencing fires. Over 200 homes have already been burned to the ground.
And, then there are 298 dead by an explosive attack on inocent people in Eastern Europe.
Where I live, there is much smoke but no fire. The fire I feel in my heart is for peace and love. But, I am demented or do I just have dementia. What is dementia anyway?

Dearest George & Kate, you are both amazing!! I wish I could find words. You are both so eloquent. I am an RGN working in a ‘memory lane unit’ in Scotland & follow your blogs which I found through UTAS! Thank you. We are all slowly transforming. You’ll stay amazing! Xx

Today I took several photos of a magnificant sunset looking west from my home on Tower Mountain in Spokane Washington U.S.A.
The sunset pictures barely portray the beauty of the sky as visible in personal 3D. The majesty and beauty however has been marred by its creator (or instigator) — FOREST FIRES which have just burned over 100 homes and are still out of control. The summer is still young and the fires are already causing havock in Washington State. I will try to find a way to display these pictures properly world wide. They are remarkable.
As I sift through my world as a person with dementia perhaps I use the beauty of the sunset 100 miles away from the flames as a personal metaphor. I must concentrate on the beauty of the sunset pictures to continue. I feel that I should not even have these feelings in some ways. But, I do. —– George Watters
