[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 205127, member: 3704"] Good morning everyone! Linda, Your creativity really seems to be flowing. I know that your family members will treasure their special holiday cards. I'm so glad to hear about the new steps and the potential ramp. I agree with Trinity's sentiments completely. Don't worry about coming to terms with the changes in your health. Modifications to your home make this issue very tangible and real. I think it is a good idea for us all to look at the accessibility of our homes. I'm a big advocate of universal design - homes built without steps, with wide doorways, and sinks and counters that can be adjusted for use for those who use wheelchairs. Of course, this belief comes from my line of work - but also personal experience with difficult child and my aging mother. Ok.... off my soapbox :-) Sharon, your weather sounds delightful! We're close to you in temps - but not quite to the 30's yet! Sorry you have to wait so long to get to the ENT - but I'm glad that you are going!!! Sharon (LDM) I know exactly what you mean about the mad dash to the library for references! I hope that your expedition goes well. Rabbit.... good morning to you ! Have an excellent day. Marg, It sounds like all the wedding prep is moving along. I think that the $7 per person for difficult child 1 is a wonderful price! The fluffy red petticoat sounds delightful - what an image I get. The best thing of all is your improved mobility. Do enjoy it! It sounds like it has come at exactly the right time with all the coming events on the horizon. Trinity it sounds like you have a full plate with your visitors and difficult child's upcoming move. I'm glad you are taking the time to enjoy this lovely fall that we are having. Hang in there. Andy, save us all an enchilada! Mexican is definitely my favorite. Good look in your search for the pumpkin lanterns. It is an absolutely lovely morning here. Bright sunshine, low 40's - just a crisp, fall touch in the air. The leaves are finally starting to turn - we have a late fall here.

It's on its way in its color transformation and is a definite conversation starter when folks walk by as I'm working in the yard. There's plenty of work right now with all of our leaves! Yesterday was a very shocking day for all of us in our neighborhood. Our perky, "life of the party" 82 year old neighbor Sam unexpectedly and suddenly passed away Sunday. Everytime I worked in my yard Sam would walk by and we would strike up a fascinating conversation. Sam was an avid cyclist, and was the president of a local cycling club.
