Having your FIL just 5 minutes away, is an ideal situation, Dotsie.. There is a senior home closer to us…but yuck….no way. I have to drive about 20 minutes. It’s not that bad.

The birthday parties are all within our family. February and March are the birthday months. All grandchildren, children, uncles, aunts and parents celebrate their B- days during this time. And each time they invite my mother too!

Yes, Dotsie, it is comforting to know we are living similar lives right now. I had to smile at your imagery; “Mr. Feet”,…but that is fairly harmless. We have a Miss Lama’…She opens her sweater and spits into it. … I can’t really laugh about that. It’s all terribly sad.

I pray every day that they find a cure for Alzheimer. In my book, it is the most terrifying illness there is.
