They way she left your guest house is just how we were taught, back when; and no doubt, will be welcomed again and again with open arms.<br /><br />WHEN? Years later, I still feel guilty for not having recognized the signs about my mother's mental deterioration. More to the point, this is exactly why I want to relocate near(ish) my son and DIL, so as to have a real support system. Unfortunately, Tom's son and daughter seem to have little interest in their dad. (Then again! I could take up chain smoking again and sign up for skydiving lessons, to lessen the odds of becoming a burden. LOL!)Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-63720771918015629382017-03-10T12:56:42.283-05:002017-03-10T12:56:42.283-05:00We have that talk and we are just in our 40s an 50...We have that talk and we are just in our 40s an 50s. (Nick is the 50s one.)<br />:)<br /><br />When I was younger, I would share my bed with friends. Now that I am older, I just can't. If we were to ever have guest, I'll be sure to have a guest bed somewhere. <br />When we move to the beach (one day) I plan to have a spare room for friends and family guest to enjoy. <br /><br />You two are great friends to many.<br />Lisa<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-30879363146341811732017-03-10T12:33:35.962-05:002017-03-10T12:33:35.962-05:00We've been making plans also...mostly in the t...We've been making plans also...mostly in the talking stages with each of the kids, getting feedback as to what they think would be the way to handle all the property. To me, it's an easy decision, let all 5 of them divide the taxes when we no longer want to, maybe do quick claim deeds and be done with it. At least the nursing home won't get it. God willing, we will live here til we die with maybe home health assistance when that time comes. For now, we both aren't planning on kicking the bucket just yet. We have a lot of steam left. Your guests were most grateful. Your parents left you with a gracious heart., I'm not surprised.<br />Love n' hugs from up north. The sun shines on but the air is biting today.

He even goes out and starts the truck up, that may be useful in cold country, but here? Some time it is hard but I remind myself that may be why the Lord has let me still be here. Your Dad had a good sense of humor.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-22343808646933444122017-03-10T00:17:31.054-05:002017-03-10T00:17:31.054-05:00Glad to hear the Shipslog won't be sinking :) ...Glad to hear the Shipslog won't be sinking :) But it is good to have the discussions and planning that you and Sherry are having. The best ideal place for someone to live out their lives, if they can, is at home. If you have the ability to have home health care, etc., that is of a benefit indeed. At my "young" age of 59, I know there are places I don't want to drive (freeways) so I'm happily glad to give that up. I hope when I reach the age of not being able to drive in the city I'll know that and willingly give it up.<br /><br />Sounds like you had wonderful house guests. My mom would do the same with stripping the sheets before she left after a visit:)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-55929363568394525852017-03-09T23:11:08.540-05:002017-03-09T23:11:08.540-05:00The children all (but daughter in law Vicky, and h...The children all (but daughter in law Vicky, and her two children Ethan and Lilly both grown) live miles away. I'm sure she would help all she could if we needed her she has always been here when I did. She has her mom to take care of and I hate to ask her to help. I'm holding out well, and so for I'm able to take care of us both. I try not to think about getting old. Ha. Grover isn't doing all that well, but he's still getting around I have to do everything for him. I hope the good lord will help me stay able to do that if not we will both have to (maybe) go into nursing home. I think you and Sherry will make it to keep going for a long time. Think Young. lol.
