It took her from a lively vivacious fun loving woman to someone who could not speak or walk but sat in a chair and ground her teeth all day. I was with her when she died a very peaceful and dignified death at home. I pray that your father in law will have a peaceful end when it is his time. Very hard for him to leave your mother in law with dementia but I pray that he will find peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-77725677918564842632010-07-27T21:15:33.648-04:002010-07-27T21:15:33.648-04:00I am very sorry to hear about your in-laws...very ...I am very sorry to hear about your in-laws...very difficult I am sure.<br />Heat makes everything harder to take.<br />My mother grew up in Ridgewood, NJ, and I remember swimming at a community pond in the summer.....smiles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453429612511514721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-81420855501568314162010-07-27T11:39:03.986-04:002010-07-27T11:39:03.986-04:00beautiful flowers, they do calm the soul...beautiful flowers, they do calm the soul...Jakkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572178045596792275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-64267058332897135912010-07-27T10:28:16.629-04:002010-07-27T10:28:16.629-04:00What a lovely mosaic - it belies the hot, humid we...What a lovely mosaic - it belies the hot, humid weather you've been having.<br />I'm sorry to read about your in-laws' health.

We don't quite have the porch that we envision, here, yet. Right now, it's small and has victorian posts on it (odd on a federal house.) It is very unfinished BUT has been such a peaceful respite for us - in view of the sweeping lawn that leads down to the pond and the apple trees in the distance. Also, it's shady and a bit cool because it is right next to the lilac hedge. This year, sadly, it has been an uninhabitable wreck because of puppies and the stone work for the walkway and the garden wall. BUT, rejoice with me! Tom has finished the wall and pressured washed the porch and we can sit out there again.<br /><br />All of this to say that I can completely commiserate with your longing to eat outside. Actually, come to think of it, I just posted a few photos of it (closeup =]). And, wasn't it gorgeous, today????<br /><br />I will pray for your father in law. What a time this must be.Katy Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922763748289579614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-62693397973938518572010-07-26T16:32:11.006-04:002010-07-26T16:32:11.006-04:00Good evening, Mary!
