It really is sad watching a loved one who has Alzheimer's slipping away. My sister-in-law passed away two years ago from Alzheimer's. It's a horrible disease. My wish is that they can find a cure for it.

Rest in peace Yvonne.

Hopefully you will remain healthy during the peak season there for colds and flu.

Enjoy your visit with the grandkids!

In response to "8th entry Bard’s Hall "

Dementia and Alzheimers is never easy for family members watch as it takes away a loved one's memories and often leaves the body still living. My husband's grandmother lived with Alzheimers. My own grandmother had dementia. I don't think loved ones are really prepared to deal with it. The challenges really bring out the best or the worst in the supporting family members. Our last dog, Amelia, who was such a sweetie, got something in her lungs and it made it impossible for her to eat. Ultimately we made the decision to euthanize her and I cried like a baby, realizing just how much I cared for her, and I didn't really appreciate it at the time. I have learned a lot from all the pets I've had. They're great teachers.

for Yvonne.

In response to "Writing, baking and the joys of getting older"

Yearly tests with all the worry about passing would be daunting.

The smell of freshly baked cakes is something my nostrils can sense even behind this screen. I also did a lot of baking over the years for family. Kids are grown and I stopped doing that much baking. Over time I cut most of the sweets out of my life. Now I can't really eat them because it's not appealing anymore. It affects my palate in a way some people would feel with something very sour like sucking a lemon.

I figured, with diabetes in my family's history I'm only helping to avoid it by declining sweets. So far, so good.

Writers do feel strongly about their stories.

I've been really terrible about editing stories I wrote for a contest that had potential, but then I got bored with editing since the contest ended, and I moved on to newer things.

Have you tried posting your story or stories up to 3 on "The Shameless "Plug" Page"

?

Also, You could request a review from another member who has their review request turned on.

Those yearly tests are probably keeping folks alive. I often ask folks about when they are going to give up their keys. We are fortunate to have alternatives in this town.

I forgot about this contest. I've entered in the past.

Although such events as the one you witnessed can be horrifying, it’s also a privilege to see Nature in the raw, isn’t it?

Use these random words in your entry today: volatile, desperation. jump, arena, personal, twist, and July.

It’s July 2024, time for the Olympics, when no doubt we’ll be watching, glued to our televisions. I’ve not seen much of the Olympic venues in Paris but I’m sure the opening ceremony will be held in a spectacular arena, the teams will march proudly in their new uniforms, the Australian team in their green and gold have more athletes in the team this time than ever before. For a country with such a small population compared to the USA we are sending 460 of our finest. They will all be attempting to do do their personal best times.
No doubt there’ll be the usual volatile moments as in desperation they push themselves to the limit.
I love to watch the diving as they jump and twist their bodies from the high diving board.
