morning all
been to town and back, Sharon's turkey in the oven, done the turnip and cranberries, just about to make pies.

Melanie dropped in but for a few minutes, she looked as though she'd been crying for days, asked her what the problem was, said she had been bed since Saturday night with the flu..has to do a few things and going home to bed..

she cancelled her supper with her mom and dad as they are leaving for 3 months to Florida on boxing day (day after Christmas) and mom not being a well person doesn't want to catch the flu..understandable

I told her I'd do supper tomorrow, of course got the 'no you won't' ..will drop in on my way home, hopefully she will be in bed and I'll get Greg or the boys to get the turkey/ham/meat pies I sent over and cook the meal here..

thanks for all your well wishes, guess if it were for but a few hospice people there would be plenty of help but when you have over 300,000 in similar circumstances everyone has to do what they can to help their own.

Jim is the kindest, most considerate man I've ever met, right now he knows it's his last Christmas and is frightened of what is to come over the next few weeks, so wants to be home with family so family it will be. Last night he asked Sharon what to expect seeing as she donates 3 days a week at hospice, mom went into fits them speaking of this, said it was bad enough it was happening but didn't want to go through the steps..

do agree somewhat, something maybe Sharon and Jim could have talked about in the bedroom without mom

kitties aren't too concerned with what is going on..they are enjoying the sunshine coming into the rooms..frigid temps like you "M"
