There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Packed Full Of Info.




Hi, everyone. It is 9 degrees out today. Burrr . We still have snow from Christmas . Just a little but it won't melt. I am ready for spring.






I was changing mom the other day and she said "I going to bite you" So I said " I'll bite you back" and she just started laughing. That was cool.






I have some book's and a CD with some great info. on caregiving for Alz's. patients. It is from 2008 but still full of good stuff . If one of you wonderful blogger friends of mine what them give me a yell at khz@cox.net and I will send them to you. First come first serve. It is not a giveaway. Just a regift. My newphew gave them to me along time ago and they have helped me alot. Now time to pass them on.

    It's freezing here, too! I'm longing for Spring.

    My daddy said he didn't need my Christmas gift. I said "Trust me! You do!"

    It was new flannel pants.

    Love to you~

    Hi Karen - Happy New Year! I've been slow to get to all my favortie blogs! I like your mom's haircut in the last post - you did a good job! How great that the 2 of you can have a laugh together when she said she was going to bite you! Very sweet stuff to hopefully lighten your load. Take care!

    Hi Karen
    Wow, you still have snow and 9 degree weather! That makes me glad I live in south Texas. It's really cold here, 38 degrees right now, but it's going to get colder tonight. I'm not a winter person, so I look forward to spring.

    You're so sweet to offer your books. I hope someone will take you up on the offer.
    I'm still afraid to read very much about the later stages of Alzheimer's..... it scares me too much!

    Stay Warm!
    Love,
    Dolores
