I have been real busy we put my mother in a nursing home and getting her all settled in and making sure they are taking good care of her. Then my husband got laid off his job, but with faith and prayers to God he found another one. So I haven't been blogging like I should. I quit the antiquing business for a while, I will probably get back into it in the Spring. I really miss it but other things come first. </span>

You see my mother had a stroke in September and came to live with my husband and I in October. She lost her balance and has to have help to walk and to put on clothes. So I have been really busy with her. I don't mind at all and I have to remind her that if I didn't love her I would not do all that I do for her. We were not blessed with any children so this is very different for us. I do get 2 days a week off from 1:00 - 5:00 in the afternoon and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">every other</span> Saturday. That is a lot of help. There is always one person in the family who does it all. I guess that is me. I love my mother very much. Her birthday is April 11<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>, she will be 78 years young. We are planning a party for her. I know God will bless me for doing this. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and God Bless you all!</span>
