Sept. 24, 25

Melissa out/Ruth in---
Melissa let me know what has been going on here at the house, everything has been quiet with no problems. I made Bill and Jean lunch when I arrived, while they ate lunch we talked about what they would like from the grocery store. We made our list and I ordered groceries. Jean came out to the kitchen to read catalogs and magazines. We decided to order Macayo's and both ate very well, Jean is eating more than usual. After dinner they wanted to watch the DVD The Philadelphia Story that we got from Netflix, both stayed awake until 10:00pm.
Sept.25- Bill and Jean slept until 9:30am-- Made breakfast, while they ate and read the paper, I cleaned up their room. Made the beds, emptied trash cans, put out fresh depends and laid out the clothes for the day. Bill's old razor was full of old hair, so I washed it out, but we need to get some liquid cleaner for it. He prefers the old one to the new one, but I told him it was out of commission for awhile. After breakfast, I got Jean in the shower. Fleming's the bug man stopped by and I told him about the raccoon problem, he said he would lay out some poison for them. Went back to Jean to get her hair and make- up done. Bill started to shave and brush his teeth. He let me know that his razor wasn't working at all, so I shaved him myself. He then took a 23 second shower. When he turned the water off, I asked him if he washed his hair and he said "NO, I will do it tomorrow." I asked him to do it now since he was already in the shower, and he became very agitated at the thought.
1pm- we had an appointment at the Hearing Aid center on Hayden and Indian Bend. Dr. Calturo last week told Jennifer that a hearing aid might be a useful device for Jean, so I made the appointment to have Jean's ears tested. Jean has a thorough test at the office and the woman (an audiopithologist) told us that based on her data, Jean could benefit greatly from a hearing device. The technology today is far superior today than it was even 2 years ago. She gave us her full sales pitch and then gave us a price quote. I told her we would not be buying anything until Jean talked to Skip and Joan. We have the brochure and price list, I think we should do some more research before Jean decides. I had no idea what to expect when we walked into the office, I certainly did not expect the prices that she quoted us. So if anyone has some ideas please let me know.
3pm- Afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton with Cookie and Cis. We stayed 2 hours at the Ritz, which is a very busy place. The food was not as great or creative as the tea we had on Valentine's at the Biltmore. I had higher expectations, Jean thoroughly enjoyed the service and the company.
5PM- Stopped by DV nails on Camelback- Jean got a mani/pedi, Bill got a Manicure.
6:30 home
6:45pm Safeway here with groceries
