Montie Sunshine is recovering from having 11 teeth extracted! But the real purpose of this post is that I am looking for book recommendations for dealing with #dementia or #alzheimers
How to communicate and not get frustrated. I'm about to fly to Florida and evaluate if I need to take the keys away.

Bookwormjillk No advice but wishing you luck 1mo

AmyG Poor guy. Hope he feels better soon. 1mo

Sace Wish I had something to recommend. I‘m sending you good vibes and hoping the best for you (and Montie). 1mo

mandarchy Thanks everyone! Montie is enjoying his pain meds, soft treats (Gerber meat sticks) and lots of TLC. 1mo

ncsufoxes My dad passed away last year from Lewy Body dementia. My mom had & has found support groups helpful. They‘ve helped her process what she & my dad went through. She‘s found most of them on FB. In some states local libraries have social workers on staff that can help find local resources. Senior centers too can have connections to resources. Good luck, I know it‘s a hard journey. 1mo

Ruthiella No tips but wishing you luck and strength. ❤️ 4w

Butterfinger Will definitely be thinking of you during this time. 4w

TEArificbooks It‘s fiction but was good

Still Alice

TEArificbooks Also fiction and a light fluffy romcom but the main characters mother has dementia and their family has to figure out what to do

Say You'll Remember Me

mandarchy @ncsufoxes thank you! My sincerest condolences. I'm still at the point of suspecting that both my parents are having reality issues. They live across country and their stories didn't always align 4w

mandarchy @TEArificbooks I will take a look at this one. Using the hashtags, I have downloaded one book and put another on hold. Thank you! 4w

Cuilin I recommend asking your local librarian for help. They‘ll point you in the direction of the most recent information. I‘d also check out Alzheimer‘s Association online. Good luck. 4w

I have more than 6 books checked out - so that's weird. All but 2 are picture books and 100% children's lit. The 11 holds are all #WCCPBA nominees. My school year does not start until the 28th and the kids don't come until after Labor Day. Planning is not going as planned though.

1. Word by Word by Stamper: I took a break from it when books I had on hold came in.
2. Gathering Moss by Kimmerer. I read it when it came out and brought it up in a conversation about Braiding Sweet Grass without knowing it was the same author. Added it today.
3. Invasion of the Ufonauts by Keller. 90% of the books on hold in my account are picture books
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Kristin_Reads I‘m also reading Gathering Moss! Love RWK 4y

mandarchy @Kristin_Reads it has stayed with me, I want to read it again, but I think I need to read the next book. 4y

1. I used the computers & printers when I didn't have internet. For my son enrichment like Lego or robotics and preschool circle time. While my son plays I use my laptop to access their subscription databases like Ancestry to work on my family tree. Help with my taxes, checked out tickets to museums. 2. All the time and some have become friends. #TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday #TumwaterTimberland
