Random Thoughts.
Much time has passed and frankly I haven't had time to update web site. Time passes so fast, and well, with Twittering, updating status on Facebook, Linked In, my two blogs, my work and nonprofit website, plus the email blasts, my real paying job that I do all of the above for and did I mention I have a family blog on blogspot also. Where does she find the time? Well she doesn't.
With all this communicating and my 10 grandchildren under 10, I am a bit stretched.
So, I prioritize. I regret not being able to post more photos, though and significant events of a general nature.
That will come, thus I won't end this site. But it will just have to wait for me. These things can't be rushed.
My husband and I took my father in law to the conservatory in St. Paul when he was more lucid. We stopped for breakfast at a Kayes in St. Paul...a great family owned cafe in the middle of town. After a lovely breakfast, we went to enjoy the gardens in the Conservatory. This photo was taken there. My husband happened to be away for awhile, and well, I came upon this and well...yeah. Anyway, it was a lovely spring day and we had a lovely time with my husband's father. He's suffering from Alzhiemers and his good days are far and few between. We enjoyed the bright sunshine, the lovely aroma of lilies of all kinds and even were treated to a show by the resident Sloth. My father in law talked about the outing for days after and that made us all happy. We enjoyed our time and it reminded us of better days with him.
That was last year. So much has changed in one year it's hard to describe. He's been in three homes so far, and the latest seems to provide the best care. He is a handful, as he gets a bit irritated. He would never harm a soul, but at this stage, he doesn't have much control. He just knows he's not at home, things aren't right with him and he wants it to be like he remembers it somewhere back in his mind.
