    If You're a Caregiver, Find a Mentor

    The holiday season always seems like the perfect time to express gratitude for what we've been given.

    I Have Plans To Make A Difference

    I am so excited! I have just attended my first conference on Alzheimer's and dementia. It was sponsored by The Alzheimer's Association, The Jaycees of Waldorf, and other businesses.

    A wonderful trip to Las vegas

    We have just returned from Las Vegas and all three of us had a wonderful time. My MIL was tired after the long flight to LV but held up well once she began playing the penny slot machines.

I would like to use this story as a way of explaining my... Read moreChevron
