  Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want a color wheel for my aluminum tree, only the dang thing is falling apart and doesn't stand up well on carpet. Wish I could find someway to fix it. TRIMM!!!!!!!!!! you are MacGyver... can I send it to you and you can rig it up????? 

[joesamas mama]

Have a great night Monkeys.. you are all in my prayers. tomorrow, finally I am cleared with the therapist to skate (like I listened to him), but I will do some jumps tomorrow.

I am thinking about "borrowing" my friend's blue heeler for a few days just to get use to a  dog in my life. Axel is fat and lazy but would kill anyone that would get between me and him. 

  Prayers for you all. JSM

Hubs carved/whittled the statue, he has done some really cute carvings over the years.  I try to encourage to keep him busy but he gets frustrated and out goes the project if it has any flaws.....dang it!

"Borrowing" Axel sounds like a really good idea JSM.

Axel?    Does he have a pal named "Slash?"     One of my kiddos is a Guns N' Roses fan and when I saw you post "Axel"...      I think it's nice you'll have a doggie in your life for a bit.  And it's a plus if he would kill anyone that would get between the two of you.  Good dog!

Hope the quietness means everyone is busy doing fun things!
 

I got rid of my big tree and put up my small one,one box of ornaments and some old lights.
It's probably illegal somewhere to own all the ornaments I have stuck in my closets.Just gonna rotate them from now own.Keep it simple.Hubby was like.   

I'm illegal with you.  In my younger years I put up 4 trees -- one angel, one snowman, one mice (Christ-mice tree), and one Charlie Brown tree (everything else).  I have loads of ornaments.  Then I would keep one up year round and decorate it for St. Patricks's Day, Easter (eggs and flowers), spring (sprigs of spring flowers), patriot (flags and ribbons).
Oh the joys of endless energy.

Just beautiful.  Bet Santa will have fun putting gifts under this tree.

Dear Monkey Friends,

Have any of you had the experience of looking for Assisted Living places for one of your parents?  Things are really not going well with my Mom and it is going to be a fight, much less a financial burden, but I would like to start investigating a little.  Any tips on what to ask - what to look for?

Like I said, without any explanations, it is going to be a struggle, but are there even different levels of Assisted Living? 

Give me strength monks...better yet give my sibs some strength because things are going south in this matter real fast.

Cad

PS My Dad is doing very well - he might stay alone tomorrow night - first in five weeks!!

We did that last year at this time - but we had to do the memory care type facility. It is not easy. Go and check out the places you are thinking of and you will find the one that feels "right" to you. We are using Brookdale - they are nation wide and do both memory care and assisted living. They are wonderful. Prayers that you find a place that both of you love.

  Sorry you had to go through that last year TBM. Thank you for giving Caddy good advice.

Amen and Amen.

In the end, it was the best thing we could have done. She is happy and well cared for. She can socialize and still have her own space since we got her a private room.

Thank God for such places TBM -- I'm sure it has been a tremendous relief to have her happy and well cared for.

Think I am going to sort through some of my stuff this weekend.
I have certain things set aside for sidekick and his big sister that were around in the time of their Dad.
Granddaughter says she wants a photo album/scrapbook of family photos with her dad so I have to get out photos while I am at it.Look out closet here I come.

Could you see Digger with an aluminum tree and color wheel?He already moved the tree skirt and left a squirrel tail. 

I think borrowing a pup is very good idea.
