Hello...have been peeking in....but have been kinda busy....Haven't always felt like posting because mostly it would be a whine....lol....still with moving my folks...the move is set for  Monday and Tuesday...I hope we all survive this!!  They had a garage sale...which hubby and I did most of the work...It went really well...and then took what didn't sell to Goodwill...Nice to get rid of lots of stuff!! Will be a good move....into a senior cooperative....they have a beautiful apartment..and they will be 10 minutes from me....and best of all....NO STEPS for them...their house was getting too scary!!!


Celebrated my birthday on Saturday....Kinda got lost in the shuffle...dh took me out on Sunday...It was nice!!


Hugs, and will pop in more...I hope soon!!

A belated Happy Birthday, Ruth! You know you can "whine" here any time. I certainly have done my share & so have most of the others;-)

Sounds like everything is under control with your parent's move. You really are fortunate that they'll move to a place better suited for them. My parents were in their 90s & refused to move...sad. We got through it, but it wasn't easy. Toward the end we took turns being with them 24/7.

Glad that you posted. Don't stay away so long! Cal

Hi Ruth, and to be honest with you I don't consider that a "whine" at all--sort of just everyday living and life in general.

They are lucky people to have the two of you help them with the move. They will love the senior place I'm sure. As we get older it's nice to not have all the things to take care of it. Good for you to have them near. As far as getting rid of 'stuff', boy am I trying. martha

Thanks Martha....It will be nice to have them closer....and it will be nice to have them in a safer place....I think they will enjoy the senior building too....especially my dad...he is very outgoing!


Hugs, Ruth
