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!

Four Little Pumpkins All In A Row

My daughter shared this photo she took today.
Mom spent the day with her and her daughters (my Granddolls).  They went to the pumpkin patch to get their pumpkins then went home to decorate them.  So glad Mom is enjoying her visit in Tulsa!!

Looking Very Good!

This past weekend we celebrated our middle granddaughter's birthday.
Mom enjoyed the family dinner, and though she tried to get out of the photo - there was no escaping the camera.  She is seated between her two oldest great-granddaughters, and looking very good, I think!

We made the drive to Oklahoma for the birthday festivities.  Mom is now staying with my Sister in Tulsa for a prolonged visit.  She will probably be there until Thanksgiving.  She told me she would miss me and think about me every day.  She seemed to be a little sad that we were leaving to go back to LA, but at the same time she seemed pleased to stay and visit in Tulsa for a while.

I know this is not the life my Mom would have ever imagined, but she is doing well and most days she seems to have adjusted quite well to her "new normal".  We've all come a long way since the major changes that took place last December.  We're all in a far better place today, than we were back then.  So very thankful!
