Lucky Mom – Leonor took her to the new HyVee to do some shopping and I can tell by this photo that she is delighted to see the little pound cakes are still on sale at 5 for a dollar!
There is no way I could be so far away from mom and find comfort knowing she is safe and being looked after. It continues to be her decision to not hire much extra help around the house and to rely on the neighbors, friends and Leonor. That’s not what I call “Enough” but I have to constantly remind myself that she has lived very successfully for 96 years and the last 27 of those years she has been alone. She is doing something right!
We talk every day and Dean stops each evening and brings her the paper and neighborhood news. Today he cleaned out the gutters because they were filled with pine needles from the much needed rain. Today is his birthday HAppy Birthday Dean!
