-=> Daryl Stout spoke thus to GAYLEN HINTZ <=-

 DS>   Before my Mom got real ill, and had to be put in the nursing home, I
 DS> took her there. She held on to me, while I had her tray, dish, and
 DS> utensils. She told me what she wanted, and I put it on her plate, then
 DS> took her back to the table...then I went and got my stuff. I told her
 DS> "Now, if you don't like it...remember, you said you wanted that on your
 DS> plate" <G>.

   that waw wo nice of you dude, sad to say there aren't that many who 
would do that all the time for their parents. 

 DS>   The rewarding thing was when several elderly customers told me "It
 DS> was so refreshing to see the offspring helping the parent"...and I
 DS> replied "It's just the right thing to do". The same is true now, as
 DS> "the roles are reversed". While the medical staff takes care of her in
 DS> the nursing home, I'm at what was her place, and driving what was her
 DS> car (she'll never come home or drive again), and paying the bills, etc.

 Great story and yes, she took care of you when you were unable to so it's 
only
fitting now that she's unable to care for herself, that you step in and help 
out.  I can really respect your dedication and love.

 DS>   We're supposed to get into a 2 week dry period, but the extended
 DS> outlook shows "cooler and wetter than normal". Highs in the 70s and
 DS> lows in the 50s (with dewpoints in the 40s) is more typical of early
 DS> March than late June.

 Kinda the same up here... last couple days were warm and dry , had some rain
last night and now the high for today is in the middle 60's... so much for
global warming eh?
