    This is my kind of discussion.

    Cookie tracking devices due to diversity of apparent interest & architectural highlights.

    Only on "our" beach!!!

    Very good for diversion's sake.

    I want to go write names on the back of my Komen t-shirt for tomorrow, but if i do, I will have to write Saint's name in memorial & I just can't get myself to do that. Reality.

    Must go find my happy pills. That's what they're for, after all.

    faithandfifty: I really appreciate that you felt inspired my Mother's Day with my mom.  You know, it is so great to spend time with my mom at the Nursing Home, she gets so very, very excited by every little thing that I do for her.  It is like a birthday or Christmas for her everytime we spend time together.  Another thing about my mom, sometimes I will go out and buy a big bag of cheesies, my mother so loves cheesies, and what I will do is put some cheesies into a couple of sandwich bags and take these with me to give to her.  She is so like a little girl then, she lights up with excitement - like she is being given a gift.

    My mother's dementia is really advancing, my time is precious with her each time that I spend with her, she often has child like behaviors - but I am so in awe with her excitement of our time together...  I treasure these times.

    Charmaine. It's great to hear about your interactions with your mom in more detail. It's so wonderful that you are savoring these times together.

    Beachies. I took some happy pictures this morning that certainly started my day off on the right foot. Must go download.

    Mum's hubby & our Lisa have inspired me.

    Hint, hint.

    Pictures include water...... and feathered friends!

    I went to the beach today and saw this Navy ship leaving the harbor..it has the sailors manning the rails so it is probably headed out on a six month deployment...sending best wishes to them and to their families left behind...

    OMGoooooooooooooodness.

    Barbe. Seriously?? A real hunk? In your real life??

    I always work with 99.9% women -- certainly don't ever remember a "hunk" in early childhood. I'd be unable to concentrate.

    Glad to have a Wed pick-me-up.

    Headed to PT next.

    Yippppeeee.

    Oh Barbe!!!! First Off!!! To YOU A BIG HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!! I'm glad I could make you DROOL!!!! Well at least I was!!!! Tongue out Major SLURPYVILLE that ONE!!!! There is something about a LOOK!  He has IT!!!!

    Definition of the "THE LOOK" = Makes you MELT!!! More than a hot flash.....A total Meltdown!!!! 

    I guess the LOOK is why DH & I have been married for almost 25 years on the 25th!  I know it's more than that ..... but "THE LOOK" can still melt me & make my toes curl!!!! After all those years!

    Faith......I wish I could check in more! Glad I could make the SMILE a little brighter! Extra Special Hugs for All that you have been through lately! Your Blessings of Pink ribbons Have been growing indeed! They surround you with much LOVE from Far & Wide! In Heaven & On Earth!

    Eph.....I don't think she forgot One so.... So...... SO........SOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh! Well at least she can MAYBE concentrate a little more without the sight before her now!!!! Moral at work may be down......but Maybe productivity is UP???? Tee he!

    Lisa & Meece .....It's hard to see them go ...... But we know they provide a Wonderful Service to our Country! My one older sons girlfriends father just left for a 6 month deploy....not in combat .....  but he is going to Iraq. He will be going there for 2 years....he gets to come home every 6 month's for a short visit then back again. It's really hard on the Family & All they & HE will miss. His one Daughter Graduates from High School in a week or so. 

    Coonie.....It's so good to See those SMOKEY EYES of yours!!!! Every time I am out & about....I see a COONE & think of YOU! ......So where is that side KICK of YOURS.....

    OH SHARONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! 

    MUM.....Hello!

    Charmaine......I am a CNA & work in a nursing home! I am so glad that you can do this for your MOM......so many have a hard time with the fact that their Loved Ones don't know them or rarely remember them or that it just plain Hurts them to see their loved ones like this.....that they stop coming to see them at all. It's Very Hard.....but you have to think outside the BOX & try a different approach & cherish the "NEW" special times & fondly remember the way things used to be! It's Amazing how the Simpler the Better for Bringing Sweet Smiles that mean so much to them.....but in the long road it Will bring YOU Joy in your Heart for knowing that you could bring her such pleasure from the Simplist of things! The memory may be temporary for them....but never for YOU! Some how I think they know that there loved one has been to see them. They seem more content & relaxed. BIG HUGS to YOU!!!! This is not EASY!!!! Been there! 

     OK ..... I must run & get Dinner going.....I know I am missing Many so from....

    A to Z's & In Betweens! Big Hugs & Happy Hump Day!!!!

    That is a glorious photo, Lisa.

    Thank you for sharing. I am always inspired buy what you & Mum's DH are able to do with a camera. The rest of us mere mortals just run in place attempting to reach your calibar.

    I took some great daisies the other day and will pull them together for sharing.

    Super wonderful picture Lisa! Totally gorgeous!

    Julz - GREAT words of wisdom! That paragraph needs copied and included on rest home and retirement home brochures! AND framed in the hallways of every "home". I need to remember this advice as my folks get older - it seems to take more and more patience!
