COMMENTS:
I took care of Hillary & Kemper and did chores until Dr. Vesper woke up at 11a I tried to get him up at 10:30, but he was really into his snoring, Jennifer was able to coax him out of bed at 11. He had breakfast and took his morning meds.  I assisted him with his sponge bath and dressing. In the afternoon he had lunch, watched TV and did exercise.  Stephanie, Jennifer and Jessica went down to the cemetery to make some decisions about the headstone.

COMMENTS:
I went on a search for a birthday cake this morning, Stephanie wanted one from Busken Bakery, but they were sold out of cakes. I was able to get one at Servatii‘s and have his name added. I made a quick stop at Kroger‘s to pick up a few ingredients Jennifer needed for the spaghetti sauce. Jennifer had already taken care of the animals when I arrived. She got started on making her mothers spaghetti sauce recipe while I got Dr. Vesper up, he had his morning meds with breakfast. After breakfast, I gave him a shave, shower and helped him get dressed.
