PS: Thank you all for what you do for your loved ones. It's not an easy job, that's for sure.
Those of us here, really do understand. GREAT JOB! Do something special for you this month.
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!
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.
