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.

Let me introduce to Ged Webber and Priscilla Ames. Ged is Chris' uncle and Priscella is Chris's Mom They took a quick snap before Rae headed back to Marshall.

Please keep Caedee in your prayers this week

My MIL Pricilla has Alzheimer's and was hiding it from everyone for the last 2 years, She is at the end of stage 1 and almost to stage 2 so they are moving her to an assisted living facility but not not until after the 10th.

So Randy and Amy Chris and I decided that she should stay with us until her apartment was ready. When Chris and Caedee went to the airport to pick her and Ged up. She didn't know who Caedee was. That hurt Caedee's feelings but she understood it was the disease and not Pricilla.

Then she lost her Ipod that my folks got her for Christmas before last.

Then I ran over her cat.

She isn't having the best of weeks.

I want to just crawl into bed and sleep for a week.

Love you,

One of those Mornings

Every have one of those mornings when you wake up around 4:30 and you are AWAKE nothing you do makes you get back to sleep? Yeah I hate when that happens. However I did get breakfast ate and my meds taken. Also got onto a couple of by MBs and got caught up on the latest news. However I am fixing to get ready for work and I stopped to think maybe there was a purpose for be being up. Umm Wonder what it was? Did I miss an opportunity? At any rate. Good Morning everyone and I hope you have a blessed day.
