I definately appreciate your comments and I'll make them a part of my checklist. Thanks, Doydie!

My MIL was in a nursing home for years that I never could visit (it was out of state; I need too many assistive devices for travel and ADL's) but hubby went as often as he could. She was in KS; we are in GA. In addition, hubby talked with her weekly for several years until she passed at age 92. It may have been pretty typical for a home its size, but hubby felt it was so depressing to him. His dad is in the same home, they tallk weekly and he seems to be doing good. He's also 92, and he was bragging about his "girlfriend" he's gone to lunch with at a local restaurant. She's 30 years younger than him, but I say, "Good for both of them!"

I am here, I Am Here, I AM HERE!

I CaN'T HEAR YoUUUU!!!!

Hi Sal -- Still here. Sorry you're feeling lonely. I think summer slows everyone WAY down. It's too &#%¥ hot!

Hi Ya Natalie..

Hi Sally! I have not been well. I have been having horrible pains and not online a lot. Been in bed more than anything. Summer is evil I tell ya!

You're right Kitty, Summer is evil to us now. It use to be a time to which I looked
forward. Now I dread it. Even with A/C, you can still feel the pressure of heat and
humidity.

Come here as you feel up to it and just read and say thanks, if you aren't up
to posting.

That is what I say to you all.
"Come here as you feel up to it and just read
and say thanks, if you aren't up to posting:

After growing up in a snowy cold climate, I never thought I would say I LOVE winter and being cold. But I do now! I have so much more energy in winter, it's shocking.

Also I hate feeling trapped in the house because it's too hot to leave. A/C is not my favorite because of the artificial climate. I like fresh air but can't get any in the summer.

So here's to the end of summer! Can't come soon enough.

I'm right their with you Natalie..
