Pantry Pickle

Dear Leah:

All I can say is wow - that is alot of chili!  And everything else you mentioned for that matter.  But here's the thing - dementia or no dementia, your sense of humour is spectacular.  And I might just start organizing forSpring - I am feeling inspired to not plan meals while I shop too!

I guess now with Lent ending you'll have to keep up the "Fish on Fridays" with all that Tuna!

Anyone reading Leah's latest post might want to check out her others by going to our A Day in the Life of A Dementia Sufferer section. She is also blogging over on the Sleep Disorder site if you'd like to catch up with her there.

All the best, sue 

Oh, yeah...I have to have a sense of humor when living with dementia!

I'm glad you enjoyed my blog.  I hope it helps others out there, too.

Thanks, Sue.  You give me wonderful support. Happy Easter!

WOW - I can relate to this...it reminds me of when we would be ready to move [when my husband was in the Army]....we would take stock of the pantry...and plan dinners around the remains in the pantry.

Sounds like you will be eating a lot of chili...smile

All kidding aside...getting one's pantry in order is a good thing...even without dementia...with dimentia...it is probably a full time job.  [smile]

Why not make a list of all items you have...and as you use them...mark them off the list.

Losing short term memory must be a hard thing

Do you have long term memory about when you were young?

I hope so--your childhood was filled with fun memories...smile

All I know is that I love you, cousin, short term memory or not...smile, wink 

Happy Easter --I remember those Easter Egg Hunts at Kitty's....so much fun!

Love ya!

Leah,

When you finish organizing your pantry, you can come do mine, too! I have way too much of everything, but not quite as much as you do. I think it's a common problem. If we couldn't get to the store for a few weeks, we'd have plenty to eat - probably just not what my family wants. 

Love you,

Karen
