        Covid found in white tail deer!

        I used to see a lot of deer in my yard and surrounding area. Wasting disease is killing them. Awful.

          Just made my husband a hotdog. Today I'm prepping for a colonoscopy tomorrow. I was supposed to get one 10 yrs after the last one and it's been 12 years. The doctor snagged me, darn it.
          This is the last one I'm doing!

            Oh, Joan, I just read your post about your sister! I hope you get to see her soon or at least be able to talk on the phone. This whole thing sucks bigtime!!

              Thanks, Joan. Yeah, until you're a caregiver you have no clue. My bro and sil took mom for 12 days in April and called me constantly. They lived my life for 12 days out of the 3.5 years I took care of mom. My brother said he didn't know how I did it. My mantra is keep paddling and take 1 day at a time. And pray you live 1 day longer than the people you have to care for.

                Thanks, cwcdesign and BakerAunt. After taking care of her here for 3 1/2 years, her Parkinson's is getting worse physically and mentally. Mom has a lot of hallucinations. She does come out with some amusing stories. One was that she's got a 2nd husband named Don and mom told me 'it's complicated'. Lol. I have a step daddy!! The food is really good there, thank God. I try to be there for lunch with her. She had lemon pepper cod last week. She told me Steve πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ caught it and she filleted it. 😊 so, I go and listen to her stories about people she sees there who aren't there. She told me to call my grandmother (her mother who died in 2000) to tell her what's going on. Then mom asked me when was the last time I talked to her. Um, 21 years ago!? It's sad and depressing and I'm working on getting over the guilt. I take the dog to the park twice a day which is relaxing. They're taking good care of her. I'm happy I got her into one of the better nursing homes.

                  Finally got around to cutting the basil which grew really well this year. Made pesto yesterday morning and on the way back from the nursing home stopped at the farmer's market and bought a rosemary focaccia. Had pasta with pesto. I just love it. My husband had veal parm. He doesn't like pesto. How is that possible? Lol

                    Not much time to bake but managed to make a blueberry crumb cake. Gave half to my friend.

                      Needless to say, I'm not happy, either. Mom ended up in the hospital June 27th and July 1st was transferred to a rehab/nursing home. She will be staying there long term because I can't provide a safe enough environment here. She fell 3 times the week she ended up in the hospital. Breaks my heart but she can't get around on her own anymore. Between her, taking care of my husband and the dog, I'm fried. Anyway, Tmi! Point is, visiting hours are very short and only certain days. Wearing a mask and now the nursing home is talking about wearing a mask and a face shield. This nursing home is the only one in the county that had no covid cases and I can see why. Thank goodness. I wish all these idiot people would get vaccinated!!

                          Swirth, sending prayers that you heal soon. I know what it's like to be the main and only caregiver. I hope you have some help close by. Not good once the caregiver is down for the count. Keep your chin up.

                            Hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, coleslaw, etc. Finally stopped raining. 3.5 inches since Friday afternoon.
                            Wish I had dinner at your house, Janiebakes! My fav is calamari fra diavlo over pasta. Now I want some.πŸ˜‚

                                  Made regular banana bread and gf raspberry filled almond bars on Tuesday for my friend. Today made regular raspberry filled almond bars which taste a little better. I used Bob's red mill 1 for 1 gf flour. The bars were a little grainy/sandy. Not bad but not as good as regular flour.
