So sorry to hear about your mother, Darius, my step-mom, the dearest person I ever knew, went the same way. She slugged a nurse for trying to force her to eat....they didn't try that again. She never ever raised a hand to anyone in her lifetime, but she wasn't about to be made to do something she had no interest in doing. When they asked permission to forcefeed her, I said no, as hard as it was. The poor dear was 84, my dad was gone, and she was just flat out quitting. I shed more tears for her than for my birth mother, and I have constant reminders of her around my house. She will always be in your heart, and any bad feelings will fade away.

Julie you deserve a lengthy sitdown (and a couple of Oreos, have you seen the peanut butter or milk chocolate ones yet?? LOL)for the day you put in! Doesn't it feel good to see the results, though? I'm about done in myself, came home and finally did that ironing I've been putting off, cleaned up the guest bedroom for my brother in law, who I hope makes his visit very short.

Now I have to run the vac over the rest of the house, because I'll be out again tomorrow and it looks like somebody lost a cat fight! How can they possibly lose that much fur and not be bald? Good thing there's nothing on tv because I'm easily diverted from chores.

DH goes back to work on Monday, and I'll have my day to myself again...!!

I have some new visitors to the garden. Caught them smooching!
