The

only place I can't seem to make a dent in is the den where they both sit

because my father keeps turning off the lights. I don't know why he does

this and I've spoken to him about it, but it doesn't help. I know she'd be

happier if he left them on, but I don't know how to get him to do that.

dad doesnt like lights either but loves happy bright things, ibought him a

bright red i survived ivan the terrible tshirt and i had to fight him to get

him to let me wash it, i also have some ceramic mugs that have happy or

sleepy faces on it, and bowls too, since daddy still manages to balance his

tray

on his lap, he loves the faces on hte bowls but the colors too, bright blue,

medium yellow, sea green, and a dark rose color, and our kitchen is

snowmen year round, and all my dishes have snoxman on them he loves them too,

he

likes thier smiles. i have alos put upp more of his child hood meemories up for

him and htat seems to cheer him up, as he doesnt remember recent past but

thrives on whe he was a kid, or when i was a baby, so i have filled his room

wtih those type of htings to help him remember it. glad you liked the hints in

this article and keep up the bright spirits. too, hugs, sharon m

a smile a day keeps the meanies away!!!

laughter is a breath of fresh air!
