i dont know what it is
im guessing she hasnt always been like this, but with the alzheimers...i mean, i see it in my mother in law
she lives with us, and lets say she makes a sandwich
i can "follow" her steps because the bread will be left out, the butter will be left out, the baloney will be left out and i find a half a sandwich on the counter where she forgot about it
according to my wife, she hasnt always been like that, she was very good at putting everything away as soon as she was done with it, but he just doesnt remember
its kinda funny (not like "ha ha" funny)
but i can put her outside by a bonfire, and i can tell you right now the stories she will tell
shes gonna talk about how as a teen she lived with her grandfather out in the stix
they didnt have an indoor kitchen and they would cook on the fire
then, when the fire starts to do down, and the coals become more prevalent she'll tell you how her grandfather used to bake bread and tortillias on the hot coals
i mean, she just doesnt remember shes told me this story ad nauseam
the strange thing about my neighbor is that there isnt anyone else taking care of it
her house is owned by a trust in her name, and that name happens to be same name as is on the marina here in town
her family is by no means poor, and there is no reason for her to live like this
BUT she did briefly mention once some guys from the marina take care of the snow plowing, because one of her nephews isnt a "bad as his dad"
i guess her and her brothers dont get along
