It does make life a little easier now the clocks have changed as my mother is only 1hour ahead now instead of two (and I always forget if she is ahead or behind us, timewise).Deborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-13240076460059625932008-04-01T10:45:00.000+01:002008-04-01T10:45:00.000+01:00Poor m-i-l - I hope she recovers quickly.

I don't have any friends who are not dealing with care giving issues for elderly family members. Just try to do the best for everyone concerned and go on with living is the best approach, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you had a lovely start for the week-end though except for heat shortage and time. In the southern U.S. we have a dogwood and blackberry winter which means that it may be cold into May. Sometimes women have to wear coats over their Derby frocks the first Saturday in May.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-18987382956348502342008-03-31T23:27:00.000+01:002008-03-31T23:27:00.000+01:00motherx - I hope D isnt driving you too mad with t...motherx - I hope D isnt driving you too mad with the cleaning and the heating.
