It's Raining Roses

Back on the home front, things seem to be going pretty well, health-wise, for all of us here. Mum's cough is just about gone altogether, and she was tickled pink last week when I took her to Yungaburra to get her hair done, because, when we stopped at the rose farm as we usually do on the way home, the lovely lady there suprised her with an additional dozen long-stemmed red roses (on top of the amazing value $7 mixed bunch) just out of the blue . . . and let me tell you, the fragrance from these was exquisite and filled the lounge room for days. Hows that for a nice gift, and it really made Mum's day.


Dad seems to have worked out his pain management program, and its now been a week since his last downturn, which is great. But he is using the lift to get up the stairs most of the time now, and he is definately not putting on any weight, no matter how hard I try to "fatten him up" LOL!
