You know, Mom seemed better today than yesterday. She ate better and actually opened her eyes some even. She is just not 'Mom' as we knew her to be. She has had a good life---that's what I told her on Mon. She's had 6 great kids with grandkids, she's had a husband who has loved and continues to love her to pieces, and she's had a great home and some money to do as she wanted. I mean, come on, is that a good life or what!?! She's just one of the people who have been dealt a slow demise---it's sad, but that's the truth. I really don't know how we'll explain all this to Dad when something happens to Mom. That is definitely another day, Scarlett! On today's note, I met Jamie at LNC and visited with her and Mom and Dad. Dad was a little out of it today, but still said some things that made good sense. He looked good. Jamie said they'd weighed Dad and he'd lost 2 pounds while Mom has gained 2 or 3! It definitely needs to go the other way. Jamie asked Debbie about some extra something for Dad---she said the dietary meeting on weight was tomorrow and they'd probably do something then to add some calories, etc. Anyway, it wasn't a bad visit at all. Ok, I'm fixing supper and plotting out my tomorrow. I'm determined to go shop at some point for ?????! I need a bench/table to put the slot machine on, another table of some type to put Bruce's new showcase on----several other things I'm sure! LOL! THEN I have to tackle my basement! GIANT mess! Hey, the good news is I did get the upstairs inside cleaned---not any porches or anything outside, but the basic inside upstairs is back! Yea! Love you all, Jeanie
