The Mom Report

Think about it, Dear Reader – you are reading a blog that has not been updated since March 19.  That’s almost a month ago, yet you still bring up this silly blog and see if there is something to read.  I know what such laziness says about me, but what does it say about you?

Life has been busy since we returned.  One bit of excitement was the lack of a computer.  My desktop caught a hiccough and I went into withdrawal as I could not process photos.  However, I cannot use that as an excuse for not posting – I can use my laptop for that.

Mom, however, is the same.  I was really quite fearful she would not remember me after a month away – though during my time in Viet Nam, I was very surprised to hear from my sister that Mom remembered her name.  The first day I walked into the nursing home, Mom spotted me and burst into a smile.  Of course, she does not know my name nor my relationship to her, but she knows I am somebody important to her.

One thing also remained the same as when I’d left – she was not wearing her upper dentures.  A couple of days after I came back, she had also sat on her glasses, bending them badly.  I got them repaired for her, but I will spare you the photo I took of her with neither her upper teeth nor glasses.  I ain’t purty, folks.

Instead, here is the matriarch herself.

What else have I been doing since our return from Viet Nam?

That’s a good excuse for another post – hopefully before another month elapses.

Thank God for RSS. Otherwise we would look a bit foolish....

As Paul said.
Hey Doug - I'm working with ALZCARE in Texas to produce their website. I would like to introduce you to them and vice versa. Their site will be pulling news content via RSS. I would like to ask them if they would like to use yours is you agree.
Drop me a line on email.
Cheers

My Dear B.I.L. - With what you have on your plate already and the things you are planning to do, I would call you anything but lazy. You are always re-inventing yourself and in fact, are an inspiration. Love, Aunt Patty.
