Mom

Mom and Rhonda (aide)

a couple of days ago

laughing at my stories

of being tied to a tree as a child...

it was the only way to keep me in the yard at 3 or 4

today Hospice has put their comfort orders in to place

Morphine and Ativan as needed 

so far she has slept all day

no discomfort

I sure love this mom of mine

Off the Frame

off the frame this morning

next to block, steam and bind

made a small dent in the worms

great to use up the ones that have been passed by

for so long

it was a bad day

made a little better 

by a new afghan from a coworker 

her mom loves to crochet 

she has a dozens and dozens made

we've been gifted with 7 of them this year

2 mom kept

the rest for other residents and a patient at work

*****

here we have my next door neightbors garage

only 6" along the side is hers

the rest is my property...

this year I'm putting in a bird/butterfly garden 

to stop the spread of her clutter

given time

I'd like to turn my entire backyard

into a flower garden amongst the trees

 

Yesterday

NC sister has been sharing some photos

that she must have snagged years ago...

Mom and Grandma 

I never knew Mom was a candy striper

late 30's or early 40's

 

 Deb had a lot of foot problems when she was born

her little legs are in casts...

1952/3

a better day yesterday

not so medicated

working on our new garden puzzle

maybe today she'll let me do her hair!

nice Mary is to her right

she always cries in the afternoon

she has been so worried about Mom

they hold hands

 planning on heading home any day now

at the end of the table is Dorothy

she's 100 and 5 months

she was on a tear yesterday

cracking up at everything

asking for a new Cadillac, any color would do

thank you so much for your kind words, support and prayers

it all means more than you can ever know
