Mrs "B-u-c-k-e-t" (pronounced "bouquet")


Well Mom finished the week with "a candle light dinner with riparian entertainment" in 2 side splitting episodes of "keeping up appearances" on Sat Night on PBS! Good for the brain to get thoes endorphins going!

Mom hit the Matress early tonight

We had a new "Home Care Atendent" to "break in" to day to help Mom bathe and get the laundry done while I went to the store for Rx and groceries.

So, she went to bed at 7:45 - well, I better take advantage of the "down time" while the "kids" are asleep and catch 40 winks. Woke up at 11:30pm to give Mom her night meds and heard noise in the bedroom. There was Mom struggling with her cane between the bed and the wheelchair! I carefully pulled the cane out for her and started pulling her up off the bed to go to the bathroom (she's on a water pill so she goes ALOT!) when she started pulling back. "Come on Mom, wake up, let's go to the bathroom!", I pleaded. Well, this went on for about a minute and finally when she got her breath she said, "I'm TRYING TO GET BACK IN BED ... NOT trying to get out!!". Oooopsie! Sorry!

Mom is now "working" the night shift!

Mom enjoyed all the photos on the "To Mark Time" blog to the point that we didn't get to bed til 3:30 AM! Arrrgh, Mom can't I just read you a bedtime story tonight?

WOW! My 1st "BLOG" ... that word sounds like a disease! "You've got the BLOG, sorry there's nothing we can do for you ... just go home and write incessantly on your computer and you'll get better!" Aaaarrrggghhh! It takes me 2 hrs just to send a note to Dr. Phil!
BUT, seriously folks, I just flew in from Scranton, and, BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED! (rimshot).

However, for those who are instersted in how Grams, Grace Irene (Bright) Saylor, is doing as she passes the 90 year old mark "stay tuned and we'll be right back, after this commercial break! ...".
