COY'S BIRTHDAY

MARCH 10,2010
I ask him did he want to do anything special today, he said no, just sleep. So he did, I baked his favorite cake and invited some friends over to cake and ice cream. He did not even question why I was fixing things up. That is how out of it he is these days. He sits by his self most of the time. I think he has had a stroke or he is having mini strokes because his mouth is drawn side ways sometimes. His strength is totally gone and he has always been so strong. God knows the problem and he is our healer. I can't even to begin to tell you the strange things he does. Last night we went to Hot Springs, Nancy and I went to rest room and left him in the hall way, holding my purse, when we came out he was gone, he had already gone to the car across the street. I have got to watch, leaving him alone. He left my purse sitting in a chair in the waiting room at the hospital. I had to run to the car to get something, I needed, He will not go in the store, he says he had rather sit in the car. It is so strange the things he does.I ask him tonight if he knew there was something going on, or was he depressed. He said nothing was wrong. I explained to him about the spot on the brain they found on his CT. He acts like he doesn't know that he is different.

After church wednesday night, we walked in the house and smelled the coffee. It smelled so good. My sister taught me how good fresh ground coffee is, we grind our own now. Sister Swiger said "Sis this coffee is so good." We have an automatic coffeemaker which is so nice, we set it every night so it will be ready when we awake. The cake was a white cake with tangy orange icing and coconut. We had 4 couples here besides us. It was so nice. They stayed until 11:30
We are having a big party at church Sunday, drive on over all of you. It is going to be fun and interesting.
We have gathered up table cloths, napkins, candles, plates, cups left from the grand kids birthdays over the years, to use on the tables and eating out of. I think it is a wonderful idea.
After all he is a 70 year old grand*pa. I have party hats, baloons, whistles that you blow out and in, you know what I am talking about. So it is going to be fun.
Nancy has made DVD of redwoods and our 50th wedding anniversary, and family pictures to be shown. We will also have the books on display.
I have been baking cream puffs to fill with chicken and ham salad, also we will have all types of crackers, dips, chips, cookies,cake and ice cream. If I have time tomorrow I am making cinnamon rolls. every one is pitching in to help.
Have got to go to bed good night.
GOD BLESS ALL
