Christmas Party at Cascade Gardens

I made it to see Kay in only an hour and 10 minutes from 12:30 pickup time.  I have started going back to my room instead of waiting all this time in the lobby .  I got Kay up and dressed.  She had not had either breakfast or lunch so I knew she would be hungry.  I gave her what I had then we went back to her room and we waited a few minutes then went down to the /company Christmas party.  There I learned something about her eating habits.  I thought she could eat solids but now I am not sure.  They have her on puree but I thought it was mainly because she could not chew the food properly because she had no lower teeth.  She eats my truffles and crackers ok but it was a larger amount I am not sure. She began chocking on some solid stuff at the party and I was glad to get her over it with no serious after effects. But we still have the weight loss to contend with.  She received a beautiful soft shawl, and two other top clothing items from Old Navy given by the Salvation Army.  Looks like to me they are quite expensive. But I am no expert.  I talked to the brass of the company about   Kay going to the Active Day program.  I explained to the top guy that I felt over 5 hours in the program was too long for Kay to be active without rest. He seemed to accept that but when  I got back to Vista a guy from Active Day came in and said Kay had been scheduled to come, I cant remember the day, even after I had told them a couple days ago I did not want her going when she would be up for over 6 hours without rest. Of  course then this guy  tries to come up with  that they several others at that age group and they get along just fine. I could see last time that Kay was totally exhausted from being up so long. I explained to the executives that I really appreciated the effort they went to to get her on the program but without a rest break I did not think Kay was up to it. We will see. They don't do anything in Active Day that cant be done at the Gardens.

I took Kay back to her room and stayed with her past time for the shuttle to come with instructions to call me when it came.  I figured I could just as well stay with Kay then come down when I was notified it had arrived.  

Santa meets Kay.
