Mom, Dad & Kathy(taken 9-18-09 at my niece, Aileen's wedding)
Yesterday I spent the entire day with my Mom! From 9:00 am to 9:00 pm! I did manage to get a few stitches in and even a nap so it wasn't too hard of a day! Dad was out of town picking up a boat. My nephew Joe (he's 20) went with him. They drove to Breezy Point (up north) to get the boat, then took the boat to Ortonville (in western MN) then back home to Excelsior.
Mom is 83 and hasn't been in the best of health lately so my sister, Kathy and I have been helping our dad take care of her. It turns out that being unemployed right now is a blessing
so that I'm available to help. Kathy retired from teaching in 2009. One of us goes over to their house every other day. We keep pretty busy doing laundry, cleaning up the kitchen, making lunch, keeping Mom's water glass full, giving medication & eye drops, going to doctor appts etc. etc. etc! And it gives Dad a much needed break....
