June

Well June was sure crazy.  My sister came to town, and we were going to try to find someone to live with our mom.  Mom didn't want anything to do with that, so they went to a few assisted living facilities.  There was one that Mom loved.  We had a family dinner to discuss the plan.  We got into gear working!  We wanted Mom's first morning when she woke up to feel like she was "home". 
 
One thing that she wanted to take was a table my grandfather made her in 1958.  It had a sticker on the back of it with his name and the date.  David carved it into the bottom of the table. 

 
She wanted to use it for her dining room table.  It needed refinishing and a pedestal for a leg...


 
...and chairs.
 
Grandma's new digs...

 Isn't it so cute??? 

 
My sister is amazing.  Instead of being here for 2 weeks she is staying for 2 1/2 months, while her husband travels without her :( She is so thorough and is paying attention to every detail for our mom.  I'm not sure if Mom realizes how lucky she is to have her.  But she loves her new place and is making new friends.  Most importantly, we know she is well taken care of and is safe.
