Something to Make You Go, Hmmmm

I have a friend whose husband has been diagnosed  with Alzheimer's .

Until recently they had been living in an assisted care facility, but now that her husband has this disease, he had to be placed in the Alzheimer’s unit.

Recently, those who care for these patients decided to take them on an outing. So they took them out to eat. But they only took the men, eight men with the same diagnoses.

My friend brought a picture of the group to Valley Voices  for us to see. It was really neat, they had put red caps on their heads so they wouldn’t loose any of them.

After looking at the picture and expressing our excitement about the fact that they had been on an outing, we asked where they had taken them……

Well, out to Lunch.” She said… “Oh, Where?” we asked….

                 Hooters!!!

    One lady in the group asked….

  “well, do you think they will remember?”

All I could picture were those heads of red hats bobbing around. Poor old fellows!

Two things pop into my mind. Enough said. I believe this might be a first.
