Best Dad visit ever!

Best Dad visit ever! 

A nice Autumn day, a hard breeze, here and there a dark cloud but most of all sunshine. Today on my schedule was to visit my Dad, just before the visit I had my rest and a little nap. Just before noon I took off, when I go earlier to my Dad I might bump into someone who I rather not bump into, yup, my Aunt. When I arrived at Dad's village I first went shopping, there were a few things what Dad really needs according to my Dad's nurse. The universal remote control for the TV I had already, it's a handy remote with big buttons, and the buttons are less then a normal TV remote control. 

 I went for a short walk in the forest after Dad's visit, I got lost cause I took the wrong turn, lol. The path I followed took me right where I wanted to be. 

The first sign of Autumn? I saw typical Autumn mushrooms in the forest.

First of to a (sport) clothing store, Dad needed a kind of a comfy jogging pants,(one without a zipper, lol) and I found one. I had to guess his size, but that was kinda easy. Size XL was way to big for him, size M, was to small, so size L, it was. Next store was a gift shop, I needed a vase, cause the last store I visit before heading to Dad was a flower shop. Withing 20 minutes I had everything I wanted, jogging pants, a vase, and nice flowers. Gosh the weather was nice, when I nearly arrived I looked at the parking lot, searching for my Uncle and Aunt's car. I was safe, I can go in, sigh! 

 Always these horse pictures Sjon, lol! I'm not even a horse fan, I wanted the horse to come closer so I made a few noises, and then it came closer. While I had taken this photo I putted the camera away and could actaullu see how close it was standing in front of me. Yikes!!

The path leading to the forest, it's not even a 5 minute walk from my Dad's place. Once your in the forest you can walk there for weeks.

A shame that it has to be this way, hiding or avoiding family members to visit my own Dad. But I had a great visit, when I entered his room he called me said, "Hey Sonnie boy." He was glad to see me, oh yes, he was. That's how I want it to be, not as a must to go, but just whenever I want, unexpected as a surprise. Dad was happy with the gifts I gave him, some nurses came in for Dad's lunch, and Dad told them about my gifts. I stayed for a little hour, then I took off. It's sometimes sad to see that Dad doesn't get much visitors, and I bet that having my Aunt two or three times a week as a visit isn't a pleasure either. 

This little creature could easily fit in a large shopping bag, so tiny and cute.

This horse was hiding behind the other's horse bum, I wanted the horse to look up and so it did. Nice picture as a result.

I have been thinking of volunteers who can visit my Dad once a week, there is a volunteers agency in Dad's village. All though the volunteer will be a stranger, if he or she comes once a week they won't be strangers anymore. It's just a thought. I will have to place a advert on the site of the volunteer's agency, if I want to get this trough. Though I think it's better to discus this with my Dad's nurse first. When I left Dad's place I was thinking of what he's gonna do the rest of the day, I mean how does he gets trough his days. I know the place where he lives organizes sometimes little events for the residents and Dad enjoys them, but still. A few visitors more would be nice.
