The door from the garage to the entry has been moved over about five inches to make room for the chair lift that’s coming next week. My mother-in-law arrived this afternoon for what we hope will be an extended stay. Both our mothers are under one roof and tonight they sat together and laughed at the predicament that is their lives: Old, in serious pain, living with their kids and wishing they were dead. It was decided that whoever tells the funniest story that gets them laughing to death wins.
My first attempt was to make up a name for our little nursing home here on Mill Road. It didn’t sound that funny at first, but the Scotshaven Home for Invalid Tenants brings a chuckle as an acronymn.

How about “McLean’s Manor for Mischievous Moms “?
Yeah, my 96 yr old grandmother (mom’s mom) is with us and I thing she would love your nursing facility… name and all, and trust me, she’d bring it!
Hello McLeans,
Was showing my folks your website and read your recent blogs here in Escondido, CA.
Anticipating your concert here for the singles held in Del Mar.
Is Lynne going to be able to get away to come with you?
I can visualize your two mom’s Michael, and they are so lucky for you and Lynne!
Sure hope your better by now….had I read it at the onset, I would have told you honey, fresh lemonade, and dash of cayenne, it really cures or kills. I’m proof it cured!
See you soon!

SHAME ON YOU. (giggle). Soon enough, it will be me. But then, it would be Lynn and me. Which would make life tenable.
I read this days ago, and really needed a smile tonight so I came to read it again. Thanks for sharing.
Do you want to know my happy thought? When all else fails, this thought brings a smile to my face every time: Someday! When I am ready, and “he” is ready, our paths will cross, someday.
There’s the smile.– night
