Ok - figured I better post something .... I got a mysterious email from blogger saying "it's been awhile". 

No crop again this year ... at the resort caring for my Father in Law ... it has not been easy.

He's not the problem -- it's the pollen count and the cold ... and then there are the cats, which I'm allergic to - they have taken to rubbing all over my sons clothes so the dander/fur transfers to everywhere he goes! 

This year is particularly hard because we lost my mother in law a bit after Mother's Day -- but she had a good Mother's Da, I think. 

He has some memory issues which are kinda no f a blessing ... but he keeps asking for an old girlfriend, used to drive Grandma to distraction - well they were married over 50 yrs and he's asking for someone else ... you understand ...

Average temp this time of year is usually in the 80s-90s .... this year?  60s!

Weird part is .... I LIKE the cold - but not in AUGUST!!!!
