Hi to you all,

This is an experiment to see if we can have a way of communicating with each other. I was mainly thinking that I would like a way to let you know what's happening with Mom and Dad and talked to a work mate who has a mom with Alzheimer's and this is what they are using. We'll see.

As time goes by we can figure out how to set it up and what will make it easy to read etc. So far I have invited my siblings and spouses and wanted to ask you all what you think about adding our kids to the blog so they can contribute and keep up too.

I will see how this first one works and see what you all think and go from there. It's late and I'm off to bed but this is what's going on here:

I talked Mom and Dad into meeting me Saturday evening at Carlton for a Luau and music. It was good to get them out - we socialized with a few people - the bench got hard so we went home. I went down to the Orchard for dinner tonight and they both were in good spirits. Dad's back and hip seem to be feeling a lot better - he's moving better and getting up and down a little better. He even commented that the dinner Mom made was good so she was happy too.

Tomorrow morning I am going down before 8 to send Mom's heart info from her pacemaker, over the phone and then we will go to Wenatchee for heart appointments for them both - not looking forward to that! Also, Dad made an appt for the car too so we will be in Wenatchee all day I would imagine. I'll let you know how it goes.

Let me know what you think

Lori
