Time Flies

Yikes! Another day or two, and I would have to say "Here it is October..."!

Since the last post, Mom has had a visit from Uncle Lael. Angie was also here for a few days--Charlotte Dissmore brought her over. Both of those visits were very nice.

The daylight hours are getting much shorter, and tuck-in time is now in the neighborhood of 8:00 to 8:30--well, I guess I should say the 'start' of tuck-in!

Mom's days have been somewhat less pleasant lately, as she seems to be filled with a lot of anxiety and distress at times--as well as confusion. We are working with her doctor to try to alleviate as much of this as possible. It's one thing to think the clock is wrong, but another to have the impression that someone changed it on purpose! We certainly are fearfully and wonderfully made beings in all of our complexity, at every age.

Mom has appreciated your notes, comments on the blog, and e-mails. The easiest for her are short notes with pretty concrete easy-to-picture details or expressions of care for her. Sometimes I have to save them up for a day or two in order to hit a time when she's more able to take them in. Keep writing! ...and thanks for all your interest in Mom.

Here it is September...

It is still typically warm during the day here--sometimes very warm, and at the same time there are definite signs of the change of season (not the least of these being fewer daylight hours!).

Last Monday Carl and Carol Jorgensen came to visit on their way home from a trip to Montana. Mom really enjoyed that.
