Tuberider, our sympathy goes out to you. I know what you mean. Marie is up in Corinth, attending to some of the issues with her mother's estate, and I am alone. I keep looking for the dog, and when I get up in the morning, haven't yet, gotten to the point where my clock doesn't say--"feed the dog".
You are to complimented for taking in the grandchildren. They can be a joy, but also a frustration when you are doing it a second time around. Marie's mother did that with Marie's sister's children, and I know what a sacrifice--even with the joy--they can be. Send a couple out if you need "Respite".
To those who have both written here and in PM--thank you for the kind and sympathetic words.
Bob
