Did I tell you all about my Good fortune at the Goodwill Store and The Good Samaritan Store. Well it was all Good. :)
About once or twice a month I go to these stores to see if they have something I can use for mom. I was looking around the Good Samaritan Store but did not see anything so decided to ask in case I missed something. I ask the lady if they had any adult diapers or anything like that I could use on my mom. She went to the back room and brought out a package of under pads and adult pull ups. I said how much and she just gave them to me. She said they were donated so no cost. I was very happy . And thanked her many times. Than I went to the Goodwill Store and looked in the usual place where they keep those kind of things and found 7 packages of adult diapers for $3 a piece. What a great find.
Hospice brings me stuff like this but not all I need sometimes and I don't want to seem greedy and ask for more. I do every now and than . And they will bring me what I need anytime I need it. But I am not passing up a good deal and I think I found two good deals that day. Just remember if you need something at these stores and don't see it . Ask. It can't hurt.
For supper tonight mom is having pureed New England Clam Chowder. It looks much better than the pureed meatballs. I forgot to tell you I added some canned carrots to mom's meatloaf so she could have some veggies and it still tasted good. Anyway when we used to go out and eat a lot. Mom always got New England Clam Chowder at Denny's so I know she will enjoy her supper tonight. And it is going to be so easy . I have a can of Campbells Chunky New England Clam Chowder. Just going to open put in blender than mivowave. Have a great week .

You always have your mom's best interest and enjoy so much taking care of her--you are so selfless.

I wish you had this pack of depends that we never used. But, guess I will find someone closer by.

Thanks!! I find me stuff at the goodwill sometimes. I browse the cloths isles and odds and ends a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to live closer Latene we could go out for lunch.
