The warm apple pie hit the spot. TY. Nice to get to know you better through your blog, my Twitter Friend! I’m a sandwich gen’er too – helping with my elderly mom and aunt with a 13 year old daughter at home.
I’m not sandwiched, yet, but my mom was for a while. I am so thankful for the encouragement you offer to others like her. You are a blessing! (Just stopping in while blog hopping the UBP12.)
Kaye, thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment. I am looking forward to exploring your blog as my MIL has Alzheimer’s and it has been quite stressful on the entire family.
What a great place you have here! Isn’t this blog party fun?!?!
What a great blog theme/subject. I’m sure there are many who can benefit from your experience and insights during a challenging time of life. I’m stopping by on the UBP tour. God bless you.
hanks Gail! I appreciate the visit and the sweet words of encouragement. Have fun at the Ultimate Blog Party! 🙂
It is fun, Mary! Thanks so much for the visit and your encouraging words. 🙂
Hi Trish, thanks so much for stopping by. Praying for you and your MIL. 🙂
Hi Tereasa and welcome! I’m so glad you’re doing great and your mom as well. Have a blessed week. 🙂
Hi Connie – so fun when our different paths cross in a multitude of ways. Have a great time at the Ultimate blog party 🙂
Hi Rashida, thanks so much for the lovely visit. 🙂
Thanks for the sweet and encouraging words, Laura. Have a great week. 🙂
Awesome Glenda! What a sweet blessing for you and your family. 🙂
Hi Jennifer, Thanks so much for the lovely encouragement 🙂
Visiting from UBP2012. What a blessing to find your site! I’m not caring for grandparents yet but I think about those things, and I’ll probably join the grandparenting generation in the next decade. I am a physical therapist, and so I am very much interested in the information and perspective you share as a caregiver. Following on FB. Bless you!
