I had a rude awakening yesterday. I had an eye doctor appointment. For starters, it was at 9:40 — and I wasn’t called back until almost 10:20. And they were NOT that busy. Mondays are when I work out to the office with David to get the billing done for the […]

Did I ever tell you about when I broke my arm?
The year was 2001. For the first time in 18 years, I was unemployed. We had been a part of a family owned business — David’s mom and dad owned the business; and then due to some health problems and […]

Once a month, the nursing home tries to do some kind of “family oriented” night, inviting family members to come and participate. They have had picnics, Thanksgiving dinner, a Christmas party.
