Not A System – A Marriage
Today the occupational therapist visited the house. She talked to my mom about helping her get back to doing the regular things she does around the house. One concern that was brought up last week was the height of the bed. My parents have an old 4-poster bed that has been their possession since early […]
Another Anniversary
Today my parents celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. I started the day hearing my mom making a phone call to her doctor, so I went upstairs to see what was happening. My mother has a history of diverticulitis – an infection in the lower intestine. Evidently she woke up early this morning with sever pains […]
Trip Down Memory Lane

The other day, I noticed that the hot water was not staying very hot. I went to check on the hot water heater and, sure enough, it was leaking. The unit was replaced and the inspector was scheduled to come over today to give it the A-OK. I took my dog in my room with […]
