3:00 pm> Charlie & Evelyn text us that they have Mom, and take her out for dinner.  Later, around 7:45 Jim calls her to see how her visit went.  She is talking with slurred speech again and seems distracted.  Says she’s watching TV which helps explain some of the distraction, but not the slurred, soft speech.  Jim finally is blunt with her and asks, “Did you have something to drink at dinner?”  and she he-hums and then finally admits to having had “only 1 drink”.  Based on how slurred her speech was, I suspect she had more than just 1 drink.  But we really don’t know if the problem, which occurred a week ago, is reoccurring or if it’s just due to a dinner drink or two.  We let her get back to her TV show and say good night.

Today was Mom's 87th birthday ! Charlie & Evelyn had arranged for the family to gather at  Antonio's Italian Cuisine  in Sterling Heights for her birthday dinner.  They also got a big, beautiful (and delicious) cake for dessert!  It was a great time. We picked Mom up at her place and arrived around 2:30.  Dinner was at 4:00, so we had plenty of time.  She was excited to go, and asked us for our opinion and help picking out jewelry to wear with her outfit.  (Jim's a big help in that dept.  Me? -not so much). In the excitement of getting to the restaurant, we overlooked the marque on the sign out front.  Apparently, Evelyn & Charlie had arranged for a personalized birthday message for Mom.  How cool!  After we finished dinner, we grabbed a picture of it with Mom, Charlie, Penny & Jim in front.  (Unfortunately, Greg & Katie had just left, a few minutes earlier).   For more pictures of the event, see Penny...

Penny picked up Mom at 1:15 pm and texted everyone so they knew.  She also sent a photo of just HOW MUCH STUFF mom was bringing with her for the 2 days, with the message “Jesus!”.  It was kind of funny, but also another sad example of perhaps poor (or questionable) reasoning.  Did she really need to take all that? Jim and I picked up Mickey at 2:45 pm.

12:00 noon - We called Mom after doing our grocery shopping in the morning. She said she'd gone out to the garage to start the car, but once again it isn't starting!  That remark quickly lead to her complaining that she hasn't received her license tabs renewal yet.  Jim reminded her that they'd filled out the License Tabs Renewal forms for that the same day she'd received it.  She mentioned that the paperwork she has says that she could check the status on their website but that when she got on the "thing's" (couldn't remember the word laptop) Facebook & Tik-Tok page it wouldn't let her see the Secretary of State website.  She had no idea how to get from there to the website!  'Everything is supposed to be Facebook' and 'she doesn't know what this TikTok thing is about!' She was obsessing about it and kept repeating herself on the phone, so I asked her how the pajama bottoms that I'd taken the waist in on fit her.  S...
