Polar,
That could very well happen in the near future. I was reading about a housekeeper robot.

Just wishing for an invention of a robot that can do all the hands-on care tasks, so I don't have to do them. It will free me physically and mentally to enjoy my mom's company. My brother is always cheerful to see her, that's because he doesn't have to do any hands-on care.

Well as some of you know, my 2 besties and I are trying to do something fun each month. Did a tea last month,, and another tea at another place this month.. but I just had to "up the game".. LOL So I booked us bus trip in Dec!! Its a day trip,, to a German Chirstmas market in Pa, with a trip to a winery and lunch, and a visit to a fancy christmas shop on the way. And we don;t have to drive !! Win win for us!! We are so excited.. hoping this works out! The only other time I did a day bus trip was to NYC with my DD and a friend and we had fun.. but NYC is not my favorite place... This seems pretty low keyed, and we can do some Christmas shopping Gonna need some help to top this!! Oh we did do a trip to the river house and a spa and salt cave,, that was pretty sweet but trying to keep it to one day trips as 2 of us still work!

My mom is sitting on the front porch listening to her Irish music. I bought a boom box from VT Country Store for her and she loves it. Brother is with her and I am having a little time to myself. It was a fine day for sure.

July 22. Trying to get it moved up a week. Both daughters are educAtors. August, start of school very busy for them.

Good news was, because I am so flat to begin with, I may not need drains. Fingers crossed.

The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there!

Padding Tweety's cage now.

Happy 4th of July to all!

And our British friends too!

CWillie,
My cake avatar is not for eating!
Who would want to eat the American flag and desecrate it?

And your point is well taken, all those food colorings. I think the FD&C red coloring is the most neuro-toxic damaging to the brain.

Happy 4th of July America!

The freedom to worship God, and the freedom to not!

Cooled off to normal here too. Here in Alberta we were never as bad as BC but bad enough. Now we need rain as the farmers are suffering. Thanks for asking, Anche. 😊

Thanks for asking Anche. I'm here in Vancouver and the dangerous heat ended on Thursday. It's still warm now but in a normal way for this time of year.

At it's peak it was in the mid forties celsius here. It got to nearly 50 celsius in other parts of British Columbia. A small town called Lytton burned. I'm talking the whole town. A small population but still.......

On the news they reported over 700 deaths due to the heat. Mostly elderly singles in private residences. Tragic!

I saw on the TV news what is happening in Canada because of the extreme heat. How are you Canadian friends on the forum?

Anyone else watching the Twilight Zone marathon? I love Twilight Zone. I am cooking so while I am waiting for my dinner to finish I am going to watch a couple of episodes. They just showed an episode where the original Darrin from Bewitched was on. He is a good actor but his character in Bewitched is such a dork! LOL

It is interesting to see actors who guest started in that show early on in their careers.

I'm all for cake but I've got to say your avatar doesn't look very appetizing Send, patriotic maybe but all that food colour 🤮. My advice is to stick to the sheet cakes with strawberries and blueberries 😆

Pam,

I can’t even think about buying anything right now. 😆 Hahaha, because we are still going through 30 years of stuff to discard before we downsize! I started on this awhile back, would get distracted and stop, but now I have to finish. Slowly but surely, it’s getting done.

I am with your hubby. I don’t like fringe on rugs!

Oh gosh, I was definitely into fringe in my youth. Fringe on vest, fringe on purses, and so on. I was such a ‘flower child!’ Catholic school uniform during the day but hippie chick after school and weekends!

I saw a poster recommend GriefShare to someone. I just took a look at their website. It looks very good. Have any of you participated in a grief support group?

It hasn’t been that long since my mom died. For the most part, I am doing okay but I can see how sharing grief with a group could definitely help at certain times.

Any feedback would be appreciated. It also looks like the website has forum with online members. I am going to see if there are any in person group meetings near me.

After we put the final new floors down, I have been looking for rugs,, for the sitting area in the family room, and in the kitchen under the small table. Looking online, but I like to "feel " them, and hubs hates fringe on them. ( I get that) I had been to a local estate store a few time, and remembered they had TONS of rugs.. kept mentioning it to hubs.. shook me off.. Today on our way home from dentist he said lets stop in there,, Yep, found 2 great quality rugs, just what I wanted,, clean and no smells,, LOL.. I checked! They are a small localish business,, they live in Florida part of the year, and buy estate stuff, to resell. They were ready to make a deal and I got 2 rugs for a great price. They have another I love for my moms old room,, now to measure and see if it fits! I could not believe some of the rugs they had.. hand knotted from overseas, nicer quality modern type , you name it. Some were HUGE !! Like 3 car garage huge.. I would love to see the homes some of these came out of!

Fantastic results Ali, well done! If you want to do well, there’s no substitute for hard work, and it’s clear from your posts over the past few months that you’ve put the work in. You’ve got what you deserved!
