I'm sorry you're unable to visit right now. Life doesn't always allow for that. We were military for over 20 yrs. and were always far away from our parents. We retired far away, as well. Luckily my mom is just 2 1/2 hrs away now. Hopefully you will be able to visit soon. I hope your mom will start to feel like herself Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-9161756448688317142010-05-30T11:11:31.436-04:002010-05-30T11:11:31.436-04:00Love the chippy blue table, too.

My father died in March after suffering from cancer for 15 months. During that time my stepmother had hip replacement surgery - just after recovering from major back surgery. But like you, I found the distractions of butterflies, birds, flowers, and the beauty of nature to be a huge help.

It’s quite funny to see them on border edges in the dry earth with their wings spread out like a fashion coat and their heads tilted to the side with mouth open wide like some abstract sculpture.
