Antique Rug and Mom


found on Pinterest

this rug has it all
so much to learn from studying it
the braided edge really makes me smile

***** 

thank you so much for your
 comments and emails yesterday
they really help!

the speech therapist worked with us
moved mom to honey thick
(which she still refuses)
asked us to wait until Monday when she is back
to decide about the water
she gave me many ideas for food
mom can eat with a better mouth feel and hydration
lots of canned fruit without the juice
I'm also cooking some things at home
to take in

next week she hopes to get her to water
if not
we will sign the waiver

so now I'm researching recipes 
for "honey thick"
fruit mixes
plus she can have yogurt which she loves
already bought the key lime

 *
Mom was overwhelmed with the cards
that had accumulated while she was away
there were over 35 to open
we did a few
I'm sure more arrived in the mail yesterday

you are the best hookers and non hookers
EVER

thank you so much
for helping us through this journey

Crap. Not only did I forget, but I can't find the address. Can't be that many posts back so I will locate it I'm sure. Your mention of the fruit brought back memories of three fruit salad dishes that mom loved, all mixed in with whipped topping or cream cheese. Those recipes will be another search this evening!

You are such a wonderful daughter and hope you can find a spot on your plate for YOU. Unless you take care of yourself you will have less energy to help your mother. Also hope you have a good army around you in the next weeks or months ahead.

LOVE that rug. You find ones that allude me.

It's nice to hear that your mom is doing better. Glad the cards were waiting for her. I'm sure it made her day. SMILE

Glad things are better today and nice to have someone help you with her diet.
I love mixing ice cream with yogurt, my comfort food when I am sick;)
How about mashed potatoes with gravy, good way to get some protein and another comfort food, I love sauces and white sauce.
