I spent the weekend at mom’s house to celebrate her birthday and get a first-hand look at some health problems she’s having. I had a sense of what I’d find when I got there, so no real surprises. Sometimes you just have to see for yourself to understand.
It takes me three hours to drive to her house. A person can come to terms with a great many things in three hours of silence watching the fields and sky roll by. When I make frequent trip there this time of year, I enjoy watching winter melt into spring. It energizes me.
I expect to post to the blog less as I spend more time on the road taking care of mom. She took care of me all through my childhood. Now I’m returning the favor. I am still creating and will share as time allows.
I did have a few bright spots during the trip. I found not one, but two pairs of shoes at a local family run store. Fierce shoes for wide feet don’t come around very often. I also bought this adorable tablecloth at a discount drug chain. Even the guys approve because it has fish on it. I sent the polar bear tablecloth into hibernation until next Christmas, one of many things that was long past due.
