Breakfast at Mom's

This is a picture from last Saturday.

The weather is still perfect here in October, and we got to enjoy a
nice morning outside. It got too hot later and I was unable to convince Mom to head to the track nearby for the Breeder's Cup races.

In all honesty to everyone, these type of breakfasts will we fewer (and definitely not far between) in the future. Mom has been slowing increasingly, and rarely gets out of bed, sleeping upwards of 20 hours a day. We all knew this was coming and certainly are not surprised. Her medication contributes to this, obviously, but her pain seems to being regulated.

We all feel lucky considering all the circumstances when we first heard this news over a year ago. Please keep our Mom in your thoughts and prayers.

October Notes

Hello All,

Roni was out visiting last week. She was filling in for Pattie who accompanied Eileen on a business trip to Hawaii and got some much need R & R. (And got sick as well, as have almost ALL of us EXCEPT Mom!)

Roni and Mom just relaxed, compared knitting , and watched lots of old movies. That's been a standard of ours since Mom can't get out as much. We've been watching mainly older movies, some old favorites (Harvey, Here Comes Mr. Jordan) and some of which Mom hadn't seen (Sunset Blvd., The Philadelphia Story)

But they are mainly a distraction from Mom's biggest interest, the upcoming election. Like most American's she is very interested in the goings on, and follows closely.

Thanks to everyone for continuing to send emails, cards, and notes. Mom (and the rest of us) enjoy them immensely.


Peace,


Matthew
