I have ltc insurance. Sometimes wonder if care will still be available when I need it. There are newer policies that apparently turn into something like life insurance benefits if you don't use them. Mine will just be money gone if I don't need it. But good thing about my policy is it covers home care as well as institution care.

Treats are for dgson heading to university today. 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies and 16 frosted brownies. He has 3 roommates this year, in a 2 bedroom furnished apartment owned by university.

I love home grown fresh garden beans, green and yellow.
Glad to hear you are on the mend, helian.

Chocolate cookies AND brownies! How VERY nice for dgson, Gma! A policy that turns into life ins. if not used sounds like a good idea.

Hello, everyone!

Helia, I'm glad you're starting to feel better.

I hope you enjoyed your outing L Ann!:D

Laura, the situation with your parents sou DS very hard.(((HUGS)))

Good to "see" you, KitKat. How are DDog and DGD?

Gma, I'm very thankful that no one at the vet speaks "Cat". I'm sure we would have been thrown out by now with the language Freddie uses!

Hi, Peaches!

I had a good session in my garden, a nice chat with Dnextdoorneighbour C, and made it to the osteopath in good time for my appointment and picked up DH's lunch box

Laura, the situation on property here is that there is a several years look back, in case property is transferred to avoid assets. I'm gled your sister has a handle on it, and it sounds like your dad just plain has his own ideas and wants to stick to them.

helian, I'm happy that you are better - not 100%, but much improved. This sure came on suddenly for you.

I'm scratching mosquito bites - they came out while I was working on my driveway. Didn't get it done today, but quilting at church was cancelled tomorrow, so I may be able to finish, if the weather cooperates. I didn't hae much time to work today - Slept in (after staying up late with baking), then picked up meds for mother and went to visit her in the NH. That is always a several hour advnture. There was a Polka Band playing when I got there. Fun music! Everyone enjoyed it. Then we visited, I filled her bird feeders, and it was her supper time. She eats so much better when I am there to encourage her - otherwise she just tells the kitchen staff, I don't want any, and they abide by that. When I make her order something, she doesn't eat it all, but she tastes. I brought her an ear of corn, which she enjoyed, and left a brownie for her to have as a snack before bed. At 101, of course I want her to be healthy, but I'm not going to extend her life much by insisting she eat something she doesn't want. By th e time I got home, there wasn't much time for the driveway, but I got some of it done.
And thanks to neighbor kids who helped me sweep the dried mud left from yesterday's cleaning.

Tomorrow I need to be back by 1pm for a program that mother will want to participate in.
Then we need to go shopping for a birthday card for dsis2, whose bday is coming up early Sept. I am suggesting cash, as she is re- building a house after a fire, so she can pick out something that she can say her mom gave her.
And after we return to the NH, I have to set her hair for church on Sunday.
So I have a full day, plus MrVKM wants to go out for supper, so I have to be back in time for that.
I saw that the Pope asked his people to fast today and pray for peace. I thought it sounded like a good idea, so I participated even tho I am not Roman Catholic. Breakfast will be good tomorrow. I drank water, and today was not difficult.
Sleep will be good tonight after late night lastnight.
My shoes are wet from power washing. I will put them on the shoe dryer, and jsut do a couple other htings in the house before heading to bed soon.
