A new day….
During the eight nights I spent at Mom’s I made my bed on her couch so that I could hear her and see her bedroom door. The longest interval between her calls for help was about 4 hours but on average was more like 2 hours. We spent the day Sunday getting ready for Mom’s …
Looking Back….
Yesterday was a long day. Mom slept in her chair and I browsed through our family albums yesterday, taking a trip back through our family’s journey.

Hello Mac!
Finally did it! I have been shopping for months for a new computer to replace an ancient Dell PC (2005) model. I also have a Dell Laptop (2007) model that is on the fritz. I’m not sure how many computers I have had but had always liked Dell, until I began shopping for a new …
