Cool Calendar! Just bought this for my aunt.

I bought 2 of them, one for her, one for me. She is 98 years old and beginning to show early signs of dementia, I am sad to say. It’s a specific kind but I won’t go into detail, I just did a lot of reading on it and it said the best way to slow the progression is to keep her mind very, very busy, occupied, and engaged in activities. Her doctor agrees. I go there once a week and bring her food, usually I do a handmade calendar for her every month and I decorate it accordingly. But THIS one is so cool because it has a different “holiday” or special event for every single day of every month. I got one for myself too for the days I’m at home and I call her. So when I ask her what’s special about the day, I can look at mine while she’s looking at hers to help her along if she can’t remember the date. I think it’s a good brain exercise. We might even match the events for some of the days. Like I’ll be taking this to her on Monday and hanging it up, which is “Cream Cheese Brownie Day” on the calendar. So of course I will have to buy her some kind of cream cheese brownie on the way there. Would love to bake them but I can’t in this house. Non-working kitchen IMO Longgggg drive to her place, which is one of the main reasons I’m in such a hurry to move outta here. When I lived back home, the drive was easy-peasy. Not anymore. And she lives alone, that lucky lady. But she does need a little more help now, so I’ll be going there more often, esp after I move out. If you tell me your birthday, I will tell you what “holiday” the calendar says for that day and what makes it special. And show you the pic!
