Sharon,

Have you heard that Sam's club and Walmart, and (even Walgreen if they are down

there,) are doing drugs at $4. per prescription? They are the generic drugs.

And I know the news said 28 states have it so far, but I would think you might

want to see if one of those states are Florida. I don't know what qualifications

are, but it sounds like lots of people are using it. Especially those in the

donut hole.

Do a web search of anyone of them and see if they talk about it.

Hugs,

Hello Friends,

I am cleaning out Don's bedroom, so that if he gets sick EMT's can get to

him. He has a nine drawer dresser, a high chest of drawers, with 5 drawers, a

night stand and a computer cabinet. Enough already! He has been collecting

and stacking stuff on top of the long dresser. When I went through the dresser

today I found a drawer full of stones. Yep, he has a thing for stones and

fossils, and Arrow heads. I have put them all in one box, and plan to make a

display out of them for him. I have a large heavy frame that should be good for

a shadow box.

Anyway, back to furniture. I wrote to a grandson and told him to come pick

up this furniture that we had already given him. It is for the great

granddaughters. They will enjoy it. And, they need it. We don't.

If I need to care for my darling, then I will be able to get around the room

instead of just having an isle around the bed. And too, I have read that he

may need his bed next to the wall if he starts falling out of it. So, now I

can push it in the corner, and put something more than the carpet on the floor

to cushion his fall.

He was so relieved that I took the job of cleaning the dresser. I urged him

for weeks to sort his stuff so we could give the furniture to the kids. He is

unable to make choices and clean up. He did stack a few magazines in boxes,

Well, to be exact it's about five feet high of " Texas Highways, " and " Texas

Parks and wild life " . Great magazines! He said if someone would pick them up,

they could have the whole batch. Like I said he is a collector. More like a

pack rat, (grin). So the magazines are packed and two small non working Tv's,

three pictures in frames, not to mention the stuff that was stashed in the

dresser.

So, I cleaned it all up today. We'll put an old antique chest of drawers in

there for him, and a larger night stand from my room.

He tried on some of his suits and blazers. I need this extra closet, but he

likes everything he has. They are nice. I like them too, but we don't dress

up anymore.

I won't try to pull those away from him. Anything I do I make sure I have

his full approval. So, now I don't know what I will do for an extra closet. Put

on the old thinking cap.

We have had rain today! Wonder of wonders! We have gone for months with no

rain. Our poor yard looks like thunder. I was going to go grocery shopping, but

not in the rain. It has really felt nice to see our liquid sunshine.

All of you that have had, and are still having rain, I am sorry. It can get

old when it lingers too long, and especially when it's cold and raw. I lived

in the North for nearly 16 years so I know about lingering wet weather. Texas

doesn't know much about making weather like that. All it seems to know how

to do extra well, is make heat!

Take care, all you lovable Caretakers. Give your mates, and other loved

ones, a kiss, but otherwise behave. (big silly grin)

I just looked this program up and it does say it will save those in the " donut

hole " money. It includes those on Medicaid, but it doesn't exclude those with

Insurance.

It has been in Florida for the past month. And the biggest problem is waiting

for scripts to get filled. But there are many, including Target (I don't know

about in Florida) that are offering the same. Maybe K Mart was also mentioned.
