Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah at Curt and Rhonda's potluck

We live a long way from Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah.  Every day I have reason to be thankful for my three siblings who have done all the heavy lifting in getting them to where they need to go for the care that they need.  They are in a memory care home now home which was a big change.  Some people do not understand so well.  Memory care is different from other kinds of assisted living, but often necessary.  Dad and Mom are in a place close to all three of my siblings where Dad can work in the garden and still get around quite a bit.

I am also very thankful for friends.  My childhood friend, Curt and his wife Rhonda had a potluck after meeting last weekend and invited the folks over since that used to be their meeting.  They had a great time.  There are other friends who pick them up and take them places.  We appreciate it all a lot.  Hopefully, we will be out there a little closer as soon as our kids graduate from college in the spring of next year.
