It's Been A While, Part II

Yes, It's Almost Been "Forever" Since My Last Post!

Yes, it's been a while. Yes, I've been busy. Yes, I'm going to try and start fresh with this blogging thing again!

 

So much has happened since last April. Too much to get into now, so I'll just write about what I was thinking about earlier. A friend of mine said that someone had called her mother "decrepit". Her mother has alzheimer's.  How sad is that?

 

I still have my Mom. My Mom is still in full control of her mental facilities at 80. Good for her! I hope she continues on well into her 100s!  She still drives herself to get her hair done every week; she still drives out to my sister's every Wednesday for coffee; and she still has her sense of humor! Go Mom!

 

My sisters and I spend a weekend a year with our Mom at Falls Mills bed & breakfast. We have some of the best times, doing nothing but talking, doing a project of some type and visiting some of the local areas sightseeing.  This year we did the Elk River Canoe Rental. Mom doesn't go with us on our outings, preferring to take a nap, read a book, or work a crossword puzzle. This year we watched a movie. Mom told us (numerous times) that that was one "damn fine movie"!  It got to be so frequent that we would all have to bite our tongues to keep from laughing out loud!

 

I hope I never hear anyone call my Mom "decrepit".  I think I would hurt them. Seriously.
