If you are someone who is caring for an older person who doesn’t easily care for themselves, I can’t stress enough how important bladder and vaginal infections are to the health of the brain. Even a mild vaginal yeast infection can cause all sorts of craziness. There may be little symptoms or indications of these […]
Mom was over-joyed thinking about Bill and Kay coming to visit. There wasn’t any special event to attend or to fuss over, just good times with family. Visits by people mother has always loved made the weekend nice. Mom’s been fighting some infections that have made her less of herself. But, other than that, it […]
I so wish I had thought to take pictures. It was just one of the nicest Sundays, ever. It began with gardening, getting the beds ready for my late plantings of the flowers. I’ve been sick this spring and unable to do as much as usual. I’m feeling better. Breakfast on the porch, blueberry pancakes […]
This was actually a draft that I thought I published back in March. I just found it and so am now publishing it for you. It was originally written on March 17th, 2011. Thank you for caring about Mom. Sorry I haven’t written more lately. Here’s what’s been going on with Mom. The good […]

Hello and Happy New Year! Forgive me for not writing sooner. Sometimes I don’t write because I’m just not sure what to say…I KNOW…ME not knowing what to say! That’s a new one. **chuckle** But, I have to say that this past 20 months or so have left me speechless at times. I want so […]
The following recipe is one from Mom’s recipe box. I asked her today to pick out a recipe and tell me about it, who gave it to her and such. She chose the Zucchini Casserole that LaVerne Gallagher had given to her in Mom’s early cooking years. The Gallaghers ran the Gallagher Machine Shop in […]
The anticipation of this trip to Kansas is with great excitement and dread. **chuckle** But, so far everything that I’ve met with the excitement in my heart has turned out to be something wonderful. I keep telling my daughters that nothing is worth doing if it doesn’t take some effort, that you have much more […]
