I got another one finished last night and then another one during the day today:
Block number 10 (L-10) is a wild piece – 42 pieces I believe and a lot of Y seams. I might get to it tomorrow or that one might wait until Friday – we will see.
Thursday I am off to see my mom once again. I am helping her get “lifeline” set up. That is the company that helps older people stay in their homes longer taking care of themselves. It makes them feel more secure. One wears a necklace like pendant that has a button on it – if you fall or need immediate help you push the button and it connects you to an emergency number where they have your information already saved on their computers – they know where you live and can send you help immediately. I told my siblings I would get it set up and take care of the monthly payments. We are dividing up the yearly amount and all kicking in an equal amount to help mom out. I tell you this is once again a great time to have a large family – 10 siblings dividing up something like this comes to about $42.00 a year for each of us – very affordable and we have the safer feeling of being assured that mom can get help right away if she falls and not be laying on the floor without being able to get to a phone. Mom has not fallen yet and so we are glad of that but better to think of something like this and have it in place before a fall does happen. We all need to think of things like this as our parents get into very old age – this will extend the time that mom can maintain independent living.
