    Hey, folks.

    I wish I had better news to report, but Dad is entering Hospice care today and I'll be in Louisville for the duration. Cecilia gets here on Monday to resupply me.

    He hasn't eaten in 4 days - and even then, quite sparingly - so they don't think he'll linger too long. You have all been a great comfort to me and I thank you for the support you've given during this very rough year.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I'm so sorry, Lou. Prayers for comfort and strength during a difficult time.

    We'll be on the road all day: 3 hours down to Salem; 4 hours at the birthday party; three hours back to Tumwater. It will rain most of the time, with wind, but the temperature will be mild, so we can leave Sassy outside on the covered deck. She won't like it, but if she had an accident inside the house she'd be humiliated.

    Morning BBB

    Hugs Lou. My heart goes out to you and your family.

    Rained off and on all day yesterday and overnight. Today looks better but still overcast.

    We has a zoom call with another couple who also used Orlando consulate to get their mexicam residency. It was reassuring that I am prepared. Now just need to buy a printer and print off so many documents.

    Happy birthday to DM. Enjoy the drive.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • It has been a tough year Lou. You, your Dad and family are in my prayers.
    • I had a pneumonia shot on Monday and haven't been 100% since. I think I am going to nap today.
    • I read about your drive Dave and I was thinking I'm not sure I'd want to go. Then I remembered why you are going. Enjoy your trip. Make your Mom feel loved.

    So sorry Lou, sounds like your dad has given up; will keep him and family in prayer, some do not think it helps having been there I know it does.
    Safe driving Dave, hope mom has great day as she celebrates a century here on earth.
    Instead of buying a printer with your travels, what about saving documents to thumb drive and taking to print shop.
    Should get to seventy today still no rain in site.

    Prayers and hugs Lou. I know that hospice can really be a wonderful thing for the patient, and really hard for their caregivers. But so worth it . Take good care of yourselves too. I'm thinking a really good bottle of Bourbon on hand will be toast worthy for you and your brother. I am sure he's glad you're there with them. Your pops will be with your mom soon, I believe anyway.

    Happy 100 to your Mom Dave. Safe travels.

    We are laughing about just how exhausting it is taking care of a 9 month old. Yawnnnn.We are Blessed to be Grandparents ๐Ÿ˜And Miss Lauren is really being good.

    Be well BBB

    We did think about using a print shop but best buy has a color printer for 39.99 black Friday deal and the print shop is .20 per page in color, which we will need for some of the pages. Plus we only have tablet so no USB port.

    I also am not sure I want to email my financial documents to a print shop.
