Making it through the Day, Dad in tow!

If today ends without incident we will have had a great week.  Since last Wednesday there have been no inappropriate behaviors. Life is good.  Dad will be pouring through my coffee table books at a fast pace.  I like the slower timing of my life, it is the first time I have been a housewife who did not have to work.

   Thank God for my family--this week especially for Carol.   Dad's new 1bath, 1 room suite with smoking area is all set up with smoke and fire detectors, fire extinguishers and a a general new look.  I told my Dad I was raising the rent.    He is a little more responsive than he was at AG, as we are not medicating him so much.   He does smile.

Thanks Mom for helping!

Art's arrived in Long Beach











Art's throne ---note the coffee cup, ashtray, phone and cigs--oops! where are the cigs????













 


Art's new apartment--3rd one in 2 months --- Carol did all the work. That is a pseudo leather couch, hopefully mostly pee proof. His artwork and photos have not arrived yet. New rugs, new furniture. For those of you familiar with my old guestroom/office; the couch is where the head of the bed was.
