We like to build basements around here but it's a little tough to do in

your end of the country. My brother's property is below sea level.

When he moved to LA he told us he lived between 2 swamps. Didn't sound

like fun to me at all but they were happy there and have stayed for

almost 20 years now.

I was the caregiver/researcher for my father-in-law Elmer who left us in

July after a long battle with MSA. He spent his last year and a half in

a nursing home because my mother-in-law just couldn't care for him any

longer. We tried to keep them in their home as long as possible but

finally had to give up.

I honestly don't know how you keep going, Louise. There is no way you

are getting enough sleep or anything else for that matter. Give Jan a

big hug for me.

It's way past my bed time. I've been sitting at the sewing machine

trying to get some sewing done. That pile was getting pretty high.
