About Me

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!

August

August is unfolding as a very good month for our household.  We've been busy, but just enough.  Mom is on a good schedule and doing very well.  She is mostly happy and satisfied, and leveled-out.  These are all things that make me smile.  The only changes I have noticed is a decline in her ability to walk very far, and problems, at times, with her speech (finding words to complete her thought).  These are small, occasional changes, but enough to note.  

Things she enjoys -
  1. Ice Cream
  2. Grandchildren
  3. Books/Library visits
  4. Mail
  5. Blooming plants
  6. Candy Bars
  7. Lunch "out"
I like all these things too!
