I have quickly learned that there are great tools out there as far as medical equipment and assistive devices to help dad. Medicare pays for some and the rest needs to be purchased new, used or borrowed. Since he has only been here 5 weeks, we seem to finally have our act together! Thanks to …

A time to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Please head on over to my other blog for the collection of posts for today. Off to a ceremony now…
Whatever you choose to celebrate or not. I wanted to wish you a good one! This is a classic sick and twisted Easter Bunny! Picture stolen from here
