I do hope the storm doesn't take out your power.<br />Perhaps your Dad will come to like the nursing home though I suspect his dementia is impacting his feelings. When my Dad first went to the home, he was quite upset and blamed me for the move. But in time, he learned to enjoy it and one of his most infamous lines was, "It's great in here, they'll even wipe your bum for you." :)Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-53297648986224610932022-11-10T10:18:00.797-06:002022-11-10T10:18:00.797-06:00You live in a beautiful part of the boonies!

Everyday things that need done and it makes you realize that everyone has the same kind of trials in their lives. Mom had a very confused day yesterday. Tuesday was great. You just never know what it will be when you visit or call.<br />Our temps dropped 40 degrees in the past few hours. Still just rain as we're above freezing for now, but that will change in a couple of more hours.<br />Dennis and I do pretty much everything together since he retired. Except the craft stuff here at the apartment. I find myself spending more money at the store because he puts unexpected things into the cart! :-)<br />Be safe in the storm my friend.<br />Blessings and hugs,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-43703702993571805212022-11-10T08:32:23.529-06:002022-11-10T08:32:23.529-06:00Those good days with your dad are a small blessing...Those good days with your dad are a small blessing. No snow predicted for us, but we did get a little more rain overnight. We had "brown season" all winter last year, so I'm really looking forward to a "white season".

My husband has become such a help at the grocery store. We basically split the list. At home, he automatically loads the dishwasher and often empties it for me, too. He is not a cook at all but I cook at least six out of seven days. I don't mind and it is often healthier and of course more economical than a restaurant. <br />We do enjoy being together and have found our "teamwork" pattern more in retirement than we did while working. At that time, we were both busy with jobs and trying to stay on top of all a house required for daily upkeep.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-54129688807814901292022-11-10T07:02:20.560-06:002022-11-10T07:02:20.560-06:00Glad to hear your dad was having a good day.
