December 21

Kirk has had a pretty good week. He has been able to participate in all the activities of the house and clinic this week. He made a ginger bread house with Cliff, one of the staff. He was very proud of his creation. He also went to the grocery store and helped at the food pantry. He can still do many normal daily activities with little queuing. But he can't remember anything for more than a minute or two or single activity.

Sidney played the piano in a Christmas Concert at a retirement home. She played Frosty the Snowman. While we were on our way there we pulled up behind a car that had the gas door open and the gas cap hanging out. The driver of the car next to them was trying very hard to indicate what the problem was. But the driver of the car with the gas cap off didn't get it. Finally the passenger of the other car got out and went around to put in the gas cap and close the door. It was hysterical to watch. 

Sidney also came up one of her jokes. What movie do cows watch? The Sound of Moosic. She cracks me up.

We've had a friend from Houston for the weekend so we ate out and I had help with a few things around the house. Sidney is out of school and I am off the next two weeks. We both need a break and we can spend a bit more time with Kirk as well. 

All we want for Christmas is memory. That would be the best possible gift.
