Thanks so much, Pauly. Yes, such a sad story! If the whole thing had only happened a few years later, with the advent of antibiotics...my grandmother would have lived. :h

Instead, there were five motherless children.

I am going to write a heart-felt card to my cousins. They do not know how much their mom made a difference in the family. I think they will appreciate how their mom made a big difference.

That will mean so much to them. It truly will.

Morning!

Welcome home zenny - glad you had a good time. Details please!

Good luck with dealing with the family drama, nursie. I'm sure you could do without having to deal with that on a Monday evening. :upset:

Hello alls

:hallo: nora. Amy doesn't DO slow! I think I'm going to take a chance with my knee this evening and go swimming. It's been enormously beneficial to me since I took it up and I don't want to lose the habit of going. How is your sinus infection? Is the medication helping?

Hope your doggie gets her appetite back dottie.

How is your headache today beloved mrs bear? :l

That's an a remarkable story about your mum and aunt fenny. What an incredible thing it was that your grandmother did to save your mum. I hope the funeral today goes as well as can be expected and isn't too upsetting for you and your mum.

There was an article on the BBC news website yesterday that might possibly be of interest to those of you with loved ones affected by alzheimers:

Nora does do the best shout outs! It's so hard to keep track when I mostly post from my phone.
Mama, I do hope the banging has stopped!
Zen, rest rest rest
Love to all of you. I'll check back in later xoxo

Sending you HUGE love and hugs this morning Fen...I think a card would be sweet for the cousins. Perhaps you could find an old photo of them together and have copies made?? What a beautiful story!
Not much to say, except that I am fine. Head finally quit banging and I went to bed.
Hope you are feeling better Nora and that you got some sleep Zennifer.
Yay for you Beloved Mr. Bear for swimming. We have a rowing machine that I have been considering using...
Lizz - I am glad the kids made it home safe and sound.
Morning Pauly and Nursie and Allswell....xoxoxox
to be fair Nora, hubs locks up the Crown, but it still makes me mad....like you said....the double standard.
Off to pretend to work...may be time for some Chopin on Pandora
and I need three fabulous books to read on vacation....so recommendations need please
I love you all and I am sending angels to hover around Fen and Mommy Fen today
