We are home again. Dd came by earlier and they are coming over for supper - we'll order in pizza. She said the Rabbi suggested therapy for her, I am hoping that this suggestion will take. I told her that my therapist said she would do a referral for dd to someone who took insurance and would see her.
We went to the open house studio. Gorgeous home - this woman worked with dh a long time ago and later married a doctor. The home is right on the lake and they constructed a studio with a huge tall window wall facing the lake. We bought a small oil painting - I reminded dh that I hadn't found anything for him for Hanukkah (how hard is it to buy for someone who buys what they want?) and that if he wanted something that should be his Hanukkah gift. I can't get over having such a beautiful place to paint.
What I do for Christmas could all be done earlier, instead I always wait until the last minute myself. I need a couple of gifts, and cash for my cleaning lady and a few small things.
Do any of you have any ideas for the staff at dmom's assisted living place? I hate to slip cash to some and not all and I can't afford to do something for all. At my sister's nursing home I always took in some treats when I visited, and once on Christmas eve had a tray of subway sandwiches delivered. The food at my mother's place is really good and I see them eating it also so I hate to send sandwiches.
Yes, LadyM.
