doing a little remodeling so will be attempting to put many things back together, also canning tomato's with girlfriends so that will be fun. best weekends ever usually involve doing activities with family & friends.
We are helping a friend move because they helped us when we needed it the most. So that's our plans.
The best weekend I ever had? Would have to be the time I was stranded on a deserted island with the nothing but the rags that my clothes had become from the shipwreck that week. I managed to scrape together a small camp and then a boatload of pirates came along and . . . No. That was my dream last night. I sometimes dream about pirates. I don't know why.
This weekend we are busy with the kitchen remodel, granite is being installed Saturday... House guest coming, son's friends coming over, preparing for said son's birthday. Yes it will be a busy weekend!
Any weekend spent with friends at Anderson Island is the best weekend!

This is the first in a series of posts I plan to do in which I want to share what it’s like living with an Alzheimer’s family member. Perhaps I am doing this because I’m looking for a therapeutic outlet. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is a 24/7 a day job. You don’t get a vacation. The weekends are not your own. You cannot spontaneously go to a movie. Even planning a trip to the grocery store requires that someone is always caring for your loved on. You are on the clock with no relief in sight.
