Our lovely Miss Aldean Smith passed away last week. We met her about six months ago while visiting one of Rexburg's rest homes. We fell in love with her immediately!
After hearing her tell us about how she decorated the shelves all by herself about 5 times in one sitting, we realized that she probably had dementia...
She had two sweaters, a PeptoBismal pink one, and a dark sparkly blue one.
She'd always wear 3 or 4 different bracelets and she'd tell us the story behind each one. So we decided to make her a rainbow one and give it to her, but when we'd ask her wear she got the rainbow one she'd get kind of confused and make something up.
She loved to touch our hair and our clothes, she often complimented our appearences. After her passing, I found out that she was known for being an amazing seamstress and made clothes for her sisters and nieces. Maybe that's why she loved touching and looking at our clothes?
She'd always tell us that we were "As nutty as a fruitcake" or that we were "Tupid" haha
We loved having "let's see who can smile the biggest" contests with her
She hated it when we blew in her face... whoops :)
She loves her mother and talked about her often
She beat boxed..da duh da duh.. see the following clip:
She loved to "kick us out" and pretend to smack us... she was a little bit violent :)
And that's Aldean for ya. We sure do love her and will definitely miss her!
Love, Noelle
