 You know I have been really thinking about the prodigal son....really getting into it...also how there isn't a perfect parent...we are all just winging it.....some of us think we were the perfect parent but just go ask one of your kids...you will learn things you didn't even know happened....well we have been blessed to have 3 of our 4 kids live pretty close to us....all but our oldest son Jason....he lives in Nevada...jason went to elementary school here in Lewiston...then we chose to private school him and then homeschool him...he finished school got his GED and then started working his butt off....his goal was money, assets and a great life....he worked his way up to Manager of Telsa in Reno, Nevada...got to know E Musk very well and even traveled with him....he had no time for family....he is married and has 3 daughters...but us in Idaho no time for us...he would text us...stop in as he traveled through but never really visited...just hi gotta go......but this old mom and dad just kept praying..........then one day I sent him by text Kenny Chesney's song "While he still knows my name"......a few days later I get a CALL from Jason....."mom I am coming home"....I cried all the way through the call....he says I have my tickets and I am coming home for a few days......I have been afraid to say anything because I didn't want it to not happen....hubby cried...God answered our prayers.....the other kids are so excited making plans, changing schedules to get to see him.....prayers are bringing our prodigal son home.....yes he is wealthy, yes he is different, yes he has been over up to 300 employees......but he is my first baby boy.........no we were not the perfect parents......but we are still trying.....so don't give up on that son or daughter.....God has a plan.....

Our Lewy Body dementia and parkinson disease journey #22 house

 We are on this journey and it seems to be a whole lot involved with it.  Decisions that a person must stop and face.  One is on my mind today and that is ......our home.  When we purchased this home 21 years ago we were thinking about living in it for about 5-8 years and then selling.  But it became home.  So we have stayed.   Now, that we are dealing this these diseases it's time to take another look at our home.  It is two levels, so stairs....and it also has a drop down extra living room with 3 steps down and on the other side a two step up to kitchen.  Now with hubby starting to have walking and standing issues...and dizzy problems.  Time to rethink.. Of course I think it's no problem for me...I got this but the laundry room is in the basement with two more bedrooms, family room and pantry.  So I go up and down these stairs all day long.  And I am getting older so decisions. Do we sell?.....do we stay put until things get real bad?  do we let the kids just take over?.....d

Removing and replacing our old pathway

 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens.  So son showed us how to maybe add a dutch oven are

Our journey with Lewy Body dementia and parkinson disease #1 beginning

 Late in the year of 2023 my hubby started loosing a lot of weight for no reason just not hungry.  Once in a while he complained that his stomach was hurting.  So we scheduled doctor appointments ....doctors checked him out, ran blood work, scans, MRI's, etc....and every test came back nothing was wrong.  He was fine.  So we would leave and I would notice things...something just wasn't right.  Also, son kept noticing that his Dad's hand would shake sometimes....then his eye began to twitch....so I took him to the eye doctor and he was fine.  Again more MRI's and nothing wrong.  The eye kept twitching and the hand kept shaking. Our primary doctor said "Well, we can send him through a bunch of tests, but the out come will be the same".  Nothing we can do.  I wanted answers. So, a few months later in about November hubby almost collapsed at Walmart while walking.  He was sick.  I brought him home and he went into the bathroom and immediately came out and said &qu
