7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

To MFASRF: I am only half anxious to move up to Prescott.
Mom is really enjoying the weather here. It isn't yet too hot for her. I am acclimating well, this year. My relationships here have been less, well, let's just say I've been more relaxed this year than last, which has made knowing me easier on my friends and relatives. So, I'm in no hurry to leave, although the book club crowd is anxious to see me, too. I'm essentially just hanging out, right now, enjoying the weather.
I have to say, I made the right choices in restructuring my mother's portfolio. I also made all the right choices regarding taxes last year, and could have even been more brazen. MA has much more respect for my seat-of-the-pants intuitive financial management, especially since I agree, now, with him, that knowledge helps, too.
