Alzheimer's

Today more people are knowledgeable about Alzheimer's than ever before. Many have friends or relatives that have the disease and have had first experience with it. Until recently I had not heard of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. My mother and uncle both have Alzheimer's and are at different stages of the disease. It is very hard to watch how people decline. For my mom it seemed like she was getting forgetful and she even laughed at herself for forgetting simple things. Soon she was forgetting how to do tasks she had done for many years, like finding her way home from town or housework. She had been a teacher for many years and kept herself quite busy after retiring by knitting and reading. If you know anyone who has the disease you know that it is very important for Alzheimer's patients to have special care. They can become very agitated and hard to deal with. Again, I have seen this firsthand with my mom. She is in a nursing home and is receiving wonderful care. I would rather she was able to live at home but it just isn't possible. The Alzheimer's Foundation of America has an online store that people can purchase from. They have beautiful jewelry on their site and the great thing is that all proceeds go to benefit the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. Wouldn't it be terrific to have a cure found for Alzheimer's? Money raised to help find a cure would make multitudes of lives better. What a great time of year, with the holidays just around the corner, to buy a holiday gift from this site and have your money go to such a worthwhile cause. Even if you don't want to purchase an item you can still donate to the Alzheimer' Foundation of America. I am very glad that I found this site and can share it with others. I would encourage you to check out this website today.

Burrrrr

What a change in the weather. One day it is warm and sunny, and within a few days we get cold and windy conditions. I guess that can be expected at this time of year. I am more of a warm weather person but have gotten used to spring as well as fall. It is winter that I just really don't enjoy. Slick roads and snowy conditions don't make for much fun. Kids sure enjoy it though. Some like it because they like to play in the snow and some others due to school letting out.

Sony 46inch LCD

The flat screen TV is the newest craze. Everyone seems to want one. They have all kinds of styles, sizes and costs. Now there is a website, Krillion, that can help you the consumer find just what you might be looking for. For example, if it's a sony 46inch LCD TV you can go on line and compare TVs, styles and costs. Along with that you can find some locations nearest you. Everyone likes to see a product of that size in person, so it helps to find a store in your area where you can actually see it in person and decide if it is truly what you are looking for before buying. Look into this site for a quicker comparison of your next TV purchase.

Pumpkin Bars

I am enjoying my time at my daughter's house. She just had our first grand daughter. She is so tiny and sweet. Her name is Kaelyn Sue. She has beautiful olive skin and dark hair like her daddy. While here I decided to bake some pumpkin bars. Thought it might be a nice treat for everyone. Of course Kaelyn can't have any yet. ;)

Thinking Alike

Bill just home from a walk with Zoe and asked if I had made cookies while he was gone. It is funny because I had been thinking about the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that we like so well. The recipe was given to me years ago and it is still a favorite. The only difference in my thinking and Bill's is that I figured he would make the cookies.

Tuesday Night Shows

Tuesday night is when we watch the show House. That is about all we like on that particular night except of course, The Rifleman. It seems that Tuesday just isn't a great night for television viewing. Many times the news isn't even worth watching. Most of the news isn't positive and upbeat, it is sad and always what has already happened. I want to know what is going to happen. Speaking of which, the other night our church had a video in reference what many would say is prophecy. It dealt with issues in the middle east and with the war that is going on. They referred to the book of Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. It is worth reading.
