But she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's late in life. It may be that she had it earlier and we didn't know.

I don't enjoy cooking but I sure do enjoy eating wonderful food. We have a breakfast from our local cafe that allows me to pick them up and bring them home to enjoy. It lasts for breakfast AND lunchtime. My real vice is espresso: gotta have it to start the day! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-62583924067734066722012-10-21T14:34:46.069-07:002012-10-21T14:34:46.069-07:00I believe that we all do, tho we may try very hard...I believe that we all do, tho we may try very hard not to show it.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-84423637477373786972012-10-21T14:29:14.377-07:002012-10-21T14:29:14.377-07:00A while ago, I read in a blog, some wise words.

There is that wonderful homey feeling that only the weekend can bring...even when your retired like we are :)<br /><br />Keep on enjoying life and try not to worry to much about what can happen as we get even older. I know , as you do, that much can happen when we age.
