And back to the topic of Mom news...

Mom had a visit with the dentist yesterday! The dentist (Dr. Londeree's office, but not Dr. Londeree) said that other than plaque build-up (which they were able to chisel off ;-) ) her teeth looked good. I had been to the dentist the week before and warned them about her Alzheimers and they were very gentle and helpful with her. Other than trying to take her shirt off in the waiting room, all in all, the visit was quite nice and un-eventful.

On a brighter side to this ugly disease, Mom has turned a corner in the area of trust. She no longer dwells on the fact that people are stealing things from her and is now using the gnomes to hold her door open all of the time. Unfortunately this seems to be an open call to the "wanderers", but as long as she's okay with it, I am too.

Just a little update - Love to all - Levelle

Happy Birthday to Michael!

I am sure you are having more fun this birthday than ones in the past. With your unprecedented early retirement, we expect great things from you in the volunteer and scuba worlds.

Keep up the great work. I am sure we could use your help in this hemisphere. And we have lovely fish, too.

Take good care,
Love,
Lel

Go Ravens!

I'm posting a picture from the beach by Andy's house in case that makes anyone feel warmer. Didn't work too well on me, just made me feel resentful :)

How's mom?

Love, Lel

Hello-o-o-o

Why does seem so quiet around here? I hope everyone had a nice holiday and that you are reasonably tolerating the extreme weather. Rory wants to see snow, so we may be traveling north this weekend. Is there still some around?
