Excellent post number lisah! I’m a few decades older and I think the only time I get called Mrs Holt is from DH’s players, which is appropriate.
Medical staff should ask how you prefer to be addressed!
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

He's only 68, Trudy. And I re-listened to his message and maybe he was referring to my dad not answering his phone, which is still weird but more in line with uncle's usual weirdness.

In non-dementia news, my nervous little dog (who has mellowed considerably but can still flip at loud noises) was utterly freaked out by the woosh-woosh of the new corduroy pants I was wearing when I walked him this morning.
