This has been a busy week. Jack's new chair was delivered. It is a wine or claret color and fits well in the no match room we occupy! lol I laughed when the gentlemen delivered the chair and asked how many people did they know that had three "lift" chairs in their living area. The said they thought we held the record. But Jack needs a chair and a spare when one fails to operate (and that does happen).
These chairs are for sleeping as well as sitting. We don't have beds. Mother likes the third chair quite well and sits in it when she is with us.
Mother mentioned a month ago she wanted her will cleaned up and rewritten. I called her lawyer and did not receive a return call for a month. So I made an appointment with another lawyer.
The night before the appointment, her attorney called and say he had been away from home and was sorry to be so late returning her call. Over night he rewrote her will, durable power of attorney and deeds to take care of her property.
Thursday the papers arrived. I called three of her friends, and we met 30 minutes later and signed, witnessed and notorized the papers. She was very willing to do anything the attorney said she needed to do, as he is an old family friend and she has great confidence in him.
This was quite a big step and I was greatly surprised that she was in such a good mood to get it done. In fact she enjoyed seeing her friends so much that I think she thought more of it as a social hour. lol It needed to be done and I was proud of her for taking care of business.
The FFA students from the highschools around have been selling sasuage and bacon, well I bought from several. You have to in a small town, or buy from no one.
The sasuage is ok, but we are not really fond of pork, the bacon was too salty for us, and we will be sharing it also with others who care for breakfast meats. Mother loves the sasuage so will keep some for her! lol
Mother's 89birthday was this past Tuesday. We had so much company in and out for the week, she even had a neighbor bring a cake with candle at 7 in the morning and sang Happy Birthday to her.
We took her to the National Cemetery where my stepfather is buried. She wanted to take flowers and spend a few minutes there. We had intended to go out for lunch but took a scenic drive instead and had lunch at home.
It has been an eventful week for Marigold Country Home.

I liked the way you turned legal into social. That durable power of attorney is critical to caregiving. ... With that fleet of 'power chairs', who does the valet parking? <grin> ... and are you enjoying the new PC?
