Sounds like things are finally going better at your parents. What a relief that your Mom finally accepted care. I think most hospice workers are true angels, so I am not surprised that your Mom is enjoying them.

And yes, my SIL is very dear to all of us, including my DH.

Sorry you didn't sleep well! Sometimes it is tough to retrain to eat without the bread and crackers but it is worth it. But boy do I miss chili. Many of my favorite foods like chili have a lot of beans which are extremely high in nickel which I am apparently quite allergic to.

I noticed all those shops! I find that stuff to be nonsense as well. Sedona is spiritual in its pure beauty.

Wow! You are hired LOL!

Lucky SIL Liz, to have you and DH show up and help with her tree. The way you support and care for her tells me she must be a dear person.

Peps I agree with everyone that you have such a nice way with your Dad. May we all be as well loved in our old age.

The visit with my parents went well. My Dad spent a good chunk of time showing me a plan for a wood burning furnace that he was going to build whi*****luded cutting a big hole in the house. I took a page from Peps and just listened. Let him dream. So far my Mom likes the people sent by hospice. She said she liked everything except the name. I said let's just call it comfort care then. My brother was also there and he stayed a long time, I think, because he was enjoying visiting with us too. His wife is a wonderful baker, but he said she told him she wasn't making Christmas Cookies this year, so he was happy to eat some of the cookies I brought.

Tomorrow I hope to write up my grocery list for next week. I need to plan Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners and other meals for my kids on the days they are visiting. The older I get, the more I need to have my ducks in a row well ahead of time.
