Lessons learned in living with the elderly:
1. You need lots and lots (and lots) of napkins. And if you think you have three times as one needs, get another handful more.
2. Going down the street for lunch is a three to four hour process. Plan accordingly.
3. Although everything takes ten times as long as usual, life experience gives you an edge on hiding things quickly and well. Expect to spend three hours a day looking for items that have been safely tucked away. Plan accordingly.
The apple baking experiment will finish once I find the mixing bowl that was out... stay tuned.

Love it. This sounds a lot like lessons learned from living with an infant. (No offense to your grandmother! I'm sure your conversations are 100x as exciting as ours.)
LOLOL. So true. Though between the dementia and my attempt anyway to teach her to use English with cards, a la autism picture exchange system, there's probably an equal amount of repetition. Yesterday we worked on "I." Today we worked on the word "want."
