The Rose of the Wind

Blogging is not something you should feel you have to force yourself to do, really, I try to think of it as like writing a periodical...

Actually, I survived to get to the pen show. Aunt Peggy didn’t have a fever with her bout of illness, which was the main reason we...

Wow. I just read the last update I posted. Last Saturday, wasn’t it? It feels like a year ago or more. I have to sit down and really...

Hello y’all. Things are—well, I hesitate to say improving, but sometimes, just having knowledge is an improvement over not having it. The...

Been a long past couple of weeks, so thought I’d catch up with a quick post. Mom is still in the hospital and not improving. Every time...

Yeah, late again. New Year’s Eve was fine, very relaxing, but the day after New Year’s, things began to come unwound. Place K called to...

Making stuff! I love making stuff, as you know. This time of year, I’m gearing up to make ALL THE THINGS. With gifting holidays...

October! Time for fall, cool breezes, changing leaves, football, and pumpkin spicing all the things. Except around here where it’s still...

The family has been trying to keep me away from mom, for fear seeing me would agitate her more. I’ve been torn about it, because while of...

It’s happened. Sort of. Kind of. Not really, to be honest, which is why I haven’t been able to blog in so long. Mom was scheduled to move...

Operation Place K is moving along. I had a brief but intense freak-out on Monday when I called mom’s doctors to make sure they were...

Okay, I did it. After my last blog post, I called and set up an appointment for a nurse from Place K to come and evaluate mom for memory...

Facebook saw fit to remind me the other day that it had been a year since I started blogging! How is it that time can seem to fly by, and...

Place K was as nice as I remember it being; very clean and neat, with pleasant staff who interact well with the residents. The lobby’s...

Not much to report this go-round. Group home visit cancelled; mom’s sitter was sick again, poor thing. So it’s been another week with...

Mom’s slept pretty well the past few nights. The only problem with that is increased wrangling during the day, which makes it darn near...
