Home Sweet Home...

Mom and Dad made it home on a, thankfully, uneventful flight on Saturday night. They are both so glad to be back at home. Life is getting back to 'normal' and they are happily visiting with friends and family. In fact, this Thursday night, Tyler (my son) and I get the honor of 'babysitting' the old guy. We only agreed to let Mom go out to dinner since Dad now takes his medication by mouth :)

Most of the time, they are both at home and are gladly accepting visitors. If you call ahead, Dad works at planning his naps around his visitors. He loves having a purpose to his day and formulating a good plan. Gives him something to think about besides bugging my Mom for crazy stuff all day. So, for the sanity of both of my parents, please feel free to stop in. Although, Friday they are heading to the CANvention so Dad can sign in at the Tontine luncheon. It will take more than a little pancreatic cancer to eliminate his name from the original list.
