I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving, or, a lovely weekend, depending on where you live.
We spent the holiday with my husband’s family, and, took my dad with us for the second year in a row.
Traditionally, we’ve spent Thanksgiving with my husband’s family, and, did the whole thing over with my parents the following […]
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
Even if you’re not celebrating today, I wish you well, and, hope you enjoy the day, too.

Halloween is coming up, and, it seems like the celebrations get bigger and bigger each year.
But, Halloween can also be a stressful time, especially for the elderly who live at home alone, or, for those with dementia.

Grandparent’s Day has been celebrated the first Sunday after Labor Day in the United States each year, and, it was proclaimed a […]

We usually go to Mass, and, then to my parents […]
Wishing you and yours a wonderful 2007!

Christmas preparation didn’t leave much time for me to think about facing the first one without my mother. I have to admit, it was a little harder than I thought it would be, and, it hit me rather abruptly.
Things were fine until my father came over on Christmas Eve to eat chili and watch football […]
For the past few years, I have been in charge of Christmas for our family. My tenure actually began before my mother’s health declined. I’d like to say that it represented some sort of ceremonial “changing of the guard” or something, but, honestly, I think she just didn’t want to fool with it anymore.
It started […]
December 1st. How did that happen?
The holiday season is upon us. If you’ve already finished your shopping, then…well…bully for you. The rest of us? Well, we just might have an older person on our gift-giving list.
The media is full of advice about what to give the older person in your life. But, so many times […]
Parents to the left of me, children to the right, here I am.
