Blueberrybelle, sole caregiver to 100-year-old Mother!
How lovely! Now you can make a ‘proper’ pot of tea! Go all out. Buy loose tea leaves and a tea ball to place the leaves inside the pot. The flavor is wonderful! I’m partial to Darjeeling. Add some treats, fancy sandwiches and sweets!
I love fancy tea outings! We have The Windsor Court hotel here that serves fabulous tea.
The Fire Dept. have been working hard, and truly are heroes.
I want to reach out and congratulate all the Caregivers on Aging Care who are
The Super Heroes for their parents. Or a spouse. Or a sibling, another relative or friend, or a client. So good for you! And thanks for staying with the other caregivers on here. Just thanks! I will not single anyone out, and I think they know who they are already. You all are greatly appreciated! By me. And I am sure, by others. Caregivers all!
And Happy Caregiver's month!
Thank you!
Those of us here, really do understand. GREAT JOB! Do something special for you this month.
