Commentary

I find it a sad commentary on life that some stores now feel the need to lock up Tide pods.

Ingenuity

Saw this today.  My working theory is that they were pretending to trim trees, but in reality they were really trying to butt in line at Caribou.  I can only image what the person at the order window would have thought if a cherry picker dropped down from above to order coffee.

Impertinently

Mom being sassy.  Outtake from 2006.

Adventurously

Happy Mother's Day!  To my mom, who was always game for adventure, even when she wasn't sure about it.

Caringly

Today's post is a tribute to mothers and caregiving. 

This image was during the 4 1/2 years that I took care of my mom in my own home.  Before that, I took care of her in her apartment.  And before that, I took care of her in her own home.

The majority of the time it wasn't easy.  There was a roller coaster of highs and lows.  Sometimes more lows than highs.

But through it all, she was my mom and I loved her and she was worth it.

And I still love her and miss her.  But she is "home" and safe and no longer needs caregiving anymore.
