About Me

Louisiana
We're not the typical family. I've recently become Caregiver/Guardian to my Mom as she deals with Dementia. I'm married, have three grown children and also an 18 yr. old daughter who lives at home and recently made us grandparents to her beautiful new baby girl. That means that we have four generations of women under the same roof. Mister and I have been married forever. . .It's not the life we dreamed about, nor the one we would have chosen, but most days we find a way to laugh and bumble our way through. We're enjoying the journey, even with the unexpected side trips along the way. FOLLOW ME, if you dare! LOL!

Small Things

We went to the library today.
Mom reads a lot and enjoys getting new books.
Today she got her very own library card.

Thank you to the library workers who made this happen even though some of the required documentation was lacking.  They thought though all the possibilities and came up with a way to issue the card.  

Sometimes it's the small things that give a person a lift.

    This is the first time I've gotten over to this "other" blog of yours. I love how you're caring for your mother, and still able to put in your time for your blogging. Your notes here might just lift someone in a similar situation with an aging parent.

    I thought about the crafts for the nursing home. There's another benefit -- when she goes with you to distribute things, maybe some place inside her is grateful that she's not there...

    God bless you, D!

    Sweet! One small thing for daughter ... maybe one big thing for Mama!
