Rose was in a great mood today, what I referred to as her silly mood. Exercise was nonexistent, except for dancing, but not pedaling – that woman does like her music!

COMMENTS:
Rose was very rigid and slightly anxious during her shower, partially because she was in the process of having a BM throughout the shower. Once shower and dressing was over she was much better. By the time guest arrived @ 1p, she was her ole self, but not very talkative. Everyone had a lovely afternoon, great food, and fun reminiscing.
