Sometimes, a bad day at anything (almost) feels better than a good day at office ;-)<br /><br />I understand what you must have felt when your Mother called you by name. <br /><br />My vacation to my parents' place is in the first week of September.

It is so very special when those facing this condition have moments of clarity. I was able to visit with my 90+ year old great aunt a few weeks ago. Alzheimer's has robbed her of so much, but she seemed genuinely excited to see me and as if she realized who I was. By things she said, I truly believe she remembered me, at least for a few moments. It was very special.kontanhttp://kontansplace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-38437112942512764412009-08-21T01:43:25.271-04:002009-08-21T01:43:25.271-04:00That was a blessing.

Also special was hearing my mom hum hymns in the evening--one night she did this for about an hour before bed.<br /><br />Leni, I can't wait to hear about your travels.<br /><br />Pia, I never even went downtown in Wilmington this trip, but I did spent time swiming and soaking rays on Wrightsville Beach and walking on the beach at night.Sagehttp://www.sagecoveredhills.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-56694068731570369322009-08-20T15:03:37.365-04:002009-08-20T15:03:37.365-04:00They offered that in July--coming and go.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip with your daughter to your mom and dad's place.<br /><br />It's hard to catch up with the blogging after the summer holidays, but try to make the most of your vacation! I'm about to leave to the countryside too, after a wonderful ad exhausting tour around Europe!<br /><br />Take care!Leni Qinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787813168299836381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-64286113905418786682009-08-20T10:36:25.096-04:002009-08-20T10:36:25.096-04:00Sage

Your comment about the joy of hearing your name again, esp. from your mom, initiates many spiritual applications - thanks. I've volunteered to be bumped a couple of times to only find out at the last minute they didn't need to!

We were going to use them for Vegas but it was just a mess. You really can't go anywhere you want like they promise. Martin spent hours on the phone haggling. I guess if you take lots of smaller flights it is good but it wasn't worth it to me. You kind of get left over seating.<br /><br />I love your fish photo!Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031154927371849065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-16872314039568643242009-08-20T09:06:57.017-04:002009-08-20T09:06:57.017-04:00Glad you're back.
