    Mornin' BBB.

    Memories of my mum dealing with Alzheimer's come flooding back with your reports on your mother's early stage dementia. I am sure that your family really appreciates your presence and assistance with organizing and monitoring her care, Lou.
    Hoping you and your family can find a happy and joyous Passover.
    I would think an HOA that doesn't allow fences would not be a good place to have that kind of dog. Sounds like that fella and his dog need to live somewhere else.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning

    I’m glad you’re there to help Lou. I’m sure that you’re appreciated.

    Good morning.

    Skip - how's everything now that you're some time past the last surgery?

    The insurance company decided that they think mom is good enough to go home on Saturday or Sunday. Even my mom who hates being at the home declared that decision ia something that rhymes with full sit. We've put in an appeal and should know today if they'll rethink things.

    On the assumption that we'll lose the appeal, we spent the day yesterday getting a room in the house back in shape for her, but we're really praying that someone reads her paperwork and sees what's plain as day to the rest of us.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    {{{Lou}}}

    Feeling a bit lousy. My seasonal allergies have transitioned into a cold. I tried to sing with the choir at the Maundy Thursday service, last night (with a mask on) but mostly croaked. Hope I am better by Sunday, both for my choir duties and because I am cooking the family supper later in the day.

    I'll spend some time watching the Masters' Tournament. I always loved that one, even while the elitist old jerks who run the place irritate me. Every time I hear the crowd called patrons I cringe. I was a dedicated golfer from age 12 until my late 50s, when arthritic hands forced me to give away my clubs. I can still recall the pure pleasure of a well-struck 3 iron. Sigh.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • I'm praying it all works out Lou. I know it is a difficult time. Hang in there my friend.
    • I will be glad when the Masters is over. Roads and restaurants in our area are over-crowded. We are 80 miles away but a lot of people stay here as this is a golf mecca too.
    • Working a funeral for a gentleman that was in our SS class this morning.
    • Braves had an impressive walk-off win last night.

    I know a couple of folks who have an invisible fence in Del Webb; but do not know if they were approved.
    Lou, prayers are with you; I know what we go through with DMIL.
    Tradition calls for planting garden on Good Friday, little damp today 90% chance of rain today and 100% tomorrow. 70's today but high of only 51 tomorrow.
    Do not know our plans for Easter, but I am baking a ham which we will have either here or at DD's; reckon someone will decide and let me know.
    Still have not heard from either drug store.

    Morning BBB

    This is Teddy. Navi the cat doesn’t pose well so I don’t have a good picture. Only video of her being naughty.

    Lou I’m praying for a good resolution. I do not envy your situation.

    Ron is still on soft food from his root canal ($200 ish all in). Need to hit the grocery store today before all is closed up for the holiday. I’m thinking lentil soup and pancakes should work well. tpy3vvabjbxa.jpeg

    A blessed Good Friday and Passover evening to you all..

    Hope things work out the way they are suppose to Lou.

    I dyed eggs with Angel yesterday after school. She's a good kid. Wants to be a
    vet. UwMadison has a good program. She'll be a hs junior in fall. She's very excited about the baby coming in July.

    Gave the homeowner the no fence news this morning. Via email and original is in mail.

    It was nice not working today. I did my errands and made some Italian lemon pizzelles tonite. Going to bed early got lots to do tomorrow for Easter brunch. DH is trenching to install electric to his new shed.

    Temps rising here into weekend and next week.

    Sleep well BBB!
