Greetings from Sunny Florida


I am in Punta Gorda for 2 weeks. Woo hoo So far so good. I am hoping to get some scrapping done and maybe even enjoy my folks. My Grandmother turned 102 this past September. She still is a spry independent thing. LOL. I am trying to see if I can get some pictures from Dad's computer to post.
This is one of his daylilies.

One of the cruelties of this disease

We personally learned one of the cruelties of having a parent with Alzheimer’s.

Yesterday Chris was talking to his mom and she was all tore up. She had just found out that her mother had passed away. She was heart broken and had to start the grieving process all over again. (Beatrice died in December of 1981). How cruel is that to rip open a wound so deeply healed. She was so upset and worried how Chris and I would handle the loss. It was just as bad on Chris and he didn’t even know how to help his mom. I hate this disease.
