This week I am staying with my sister Diana, and brother-in-law Les, in Corvallis, Oregon for a few days. Our ninety-three year old father (who lives on his own in Corvallis) has a series of medical appointments, and the three of us will be tag-teaming to get him ready for, and to them all.

It’s time for Dad to move into assisted care and he’s just now accepting that inevitability. This is bound to be an intense and challenging week for me on all levels. I’ll post as I can — it helps keep my creative soul alive!
