Wanderin Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well, with TB12 back on the field, we had a great outing today. We are bugging out of MA on Tuesday and beelining for El Paso where we will try to convince my mother in law that its time to give up the house. HA, good luck to us. Then its straight home! GO PATS!!!! Good luck in that! However, Terry's mom did that last year. We weren't sure how that would work. However, she's in a very nice retirement home, has a super apartment and three great meals a day. There's also lots of entertainment for the residents. It took a while but she's happy she made the move now. It's not an assisted living place but there are some who have a little extra help when they need it. We're outta here in about 9 days.

GO PATS!!!! Sue in spring 2008 my Brother and I had to go down to the RGV to get Dad. When we got back to my house in Denver we told Dad he wasn't going his home but to an assisted living house. We waited until then because we weren't sure how he'd take it. He was relieved. Someone would be there to help him with things. Best of luck. Travel safe everyone.

soos Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks all, Conversations have been going on for quite a while. She has 'the place' picked out- 3 meals a day, her own apartment, housekeeping etc, tons of activities and 3 of her best friends already live there but her last comment was "I AM NOT READY TO MOVE" yep, in all Caps. Baby steps we say. As long as she will let us help her cull through her stuff and keep the process alive, we will be satisfied i think- for now.

That way if she decided to go back home, it was still there for her. We looked at it like a vacation home.

We looked at it like a vacation home.We are also willing to go that route- convince her to move for the winter, keep the house for now. That way she can take her time getting rid of what she doesn't want. She keeps thinking she needs to empty the house before she moves, can't quite grasp the idea of doing it the other way around so we are still working on that.

He fell several times last week because he is not eating. He insists that the water he needs is in his beer. The last fall he was stuck on the floor for 2 hours before he could get up. My brother put him in hospital and we all agreed, except for Dad, that he should go in Assisted Living. The hospital wants to fix him up, talk to him about eating tv dinners and then send him back home. We all say, what's the point.

Onthego Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) We left the coast Monday and moved to Grants Pass. It was foggy, drizzle and light rain on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were nice and some sun but today we are back to rain again. The rain is suppose to last through Monday. Also the weather people say it could be very windy today and Saturday. Tomorrow (Friday) we are going toward Sacramento but it may rain there through the weekend. Trying to escape the rain. The weather has altered our plans quite a bit lately. Love the chalk but the rain keeps washing our plans away. Eventually we'll make it to So Cal and Arizona. Travel safe everyone. Jeff GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, they say a good storm stretch is headed your way. It's normally not as wet in southern Oregon but when it decides to be wet,,,, well LOL!! To bad the weather wasn't on your side, there is some very pretty stuff in that area. The drive down the canyon along the river is a particularly great section for example. I think I know where you are camped, just turn right when you leave the campground and follow your nose.

Wanderin Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Nasty rain and high winds predicted for the PNW on Saturday. However, that bad weather won't get us since we'll still be in Florida. Instead the bugs are getting us. Tonight we were reminded of one of the reasons we didn't like Florida. It's the mosquitos. The wedding rehearsal dinner was held outside. I left with a cool dozen mosquito bites. The wedding is Saturday and we're lathering up with bug spray before we go.

When was the last time the Chargers went to the playoffs??! Sure seemed "funny" in the second half when the Broncos would have a good play there would be a penalty. Fishy. LOL. Been raining all day, not sure if we'll move tomorrow. May sit tight and let the storm pass. Jeri did you forget your bug spray? A necessity in Florida for sure.
