How is momma doing colleen

Mom is stable and seems ok for the most part. She is stuck in wheelchair or bed. She can't walk or stand but she still eats pretty well. She does sometimes imagines stuff and I play along.. Like today she asked me "how are the kids? Do they call John Dad?) (She thinks she had twins while in hospital and I am caring for them...) I said they are all well and doing good. (Your supposed to play along or change subject) i usually play along so she does not stress out. Some older lady in the same place as my mom has a baby doll she carries around and thinks is real.
Other than that she is still so cute and adorable. That's how I see her though my eyes. I think she is the most adorable loveable sweet mommy in the whole wide world..

Thats terrible. There are lots of bad drugs out their. Alcohol is one of the worst in my opinion. Pot is nothing like those hard drugs and you don't lose it and black out. Pot Smoking people have always been here and most only smoke responsibly in my opinion. I hardly ever smoke or even drink these days. Maybe once or twice a month. I think I am getting too old for foolishness these days. I am only addicted to COFFEE and have that SEVERAL times a day now. Ha ha ha

But all reports say it effects the growth of your brain cells and can destroy or alter the brain .I too am addicted to coffee but even found that coffee these days is not good for your stomach .Doctor told me it was causing my heart burn and I had to agree as every time I drink a cup I get indigestion .But if I add lots of cream it helps so I do that and I limit myself to 3 cups a day and funny tea makes my heart burn worse .Even herbal teas .I never smoked and back when I used to go to the bar with the guys I would only have 1 or 2 drinks to be polite .Not sure what I was thinking polite geeze

put coconut oil into your coffee and that will help with the heartburn. Coconut oil very good for the heath.

Outside working by the pond today. Got most of the leaves raked and that was cause my best friend Cathy came down and help me get rid of all the leaves. It was a really nice day so I thought I would give you a look at the cattle panel cold frames over the ponds. Most still just have the fine nets but will soon be covered with plastic before next big freeze.

Will be working inside the greenhouse on my day off tomorrow. Must see my sweet mother in the morning and then we will have coffee and sit in the sun before the weather goes cold again.

That's great that you could bring the guppies to a tank where your Mom is. How thick is the plastic over your ponds.

I use heavy thick plastic so it does not rip or tear easy. When winter comes the inside of the plastic and frame becomes TOTALLY covered in frost and looks like beautiful ice crystals hanging from ceiling. That also provides insulation as does the snow cover as well.

So neat you were able to bring a bunch of the guppies to a new home at your mom's! Ponds look nice and tucked in for the Winter. You always take such good care of them all year long. Have a nice visit w/your mom!
