Mimi-ism...

Yesterday, after singing with Papa, I was sitting back with Mimi while Papa played some numbers on his mandolin. I was trying to visit with mom a little bit. She mumbled several undistinguishable things. After a bit she looked at me and said, "You can scratch my back." It is so seldom now that we get a coherant thought that it took me by surprise. I said, "I can surely do that for you." Then I scratched her back for a bit and she just grinned. You just never know with Alzheimer's. Once in a while you get a very lucid thought and it just makes the day great!
