I realize I have been gone from blogging for quite awhile. I made a trip to the east coast (Pennsylvania) to spend 3 weeks with my mother in law and my father in law. I am sure there are people that would think I am crazy to do such a thing but they are such wonderful people and I love them both so very much. There are a number of reasons why I am making trips to stay with them for extended periods of time (in late September I went up for 5 weeks).
Dad turned 90 this past September and Mom will turn 90 this coming October. They both are in pretty good health for their ages. Dad has a few health issues that are being monitored on a regular basis but that info is for another blog entry. While there I do a number of things to try and make their lives a little easier. I wash clothes, do light housework, cook, grocery shop and most important of all I am a companion and sounding board for Mom.

I have 2 sister in laws that live in this same town and another good thing I am able to do while there is give them a break from having to supply Mom and Dad with meals, take them to doctor appiontments and just worry about Mom and Dad in general!
