Elise, Ice Cream & Ella

After enjoying an exceptionally good Ice Cream Dessert, Ella posed an exceptionally brilliant idea...
If they have Chocolate Syrup for Vanilla Ice Cream why not have Vanilla Syrup for Chocolate Ice Cream?...Why didn't I ever think of that?
We decided to send a letter to the +Hershey Chocolate Company for an answer.
She spent a lot of time composing the letter, we are mailing it and hopefully we will hear from the company...
OK MeMe...what's in this for you? Was my little darling's question...I answered with what a fantastic project it was, great for communication skills, you can take the response back for your teacher to read to the class, it's a great life lesson...dadadadadada da... "OK MeMe...for real...what's the deal?"
OK Kid...here it is.....marketing reads your letter and shoots us a coupon in the mail for Hershey's Chocolate Syrup...Score for the price of a postage stamp!

As for Elise...best Medicine I know of for her "condition". Ice Cream & Ella...

Mom, Pockets & Gloves

I picked Mom today from the Grand Pearle Cruise Ship (Assisted Living)..we are going to pick Ella up after while and go to the Dairy Queen for hamburger and shakes... Having a little time to kill, I wondered how to entertain Mom...it takes so little..
The entertainment started with a cough drop and cold hands,,,
Mom, put the extra cough drop in your pocket (it was an extra delicious one, Berry Breezer, and you can also warm your hands.
Well she could not find her pockets...we looked everywhere...those pesky pockets could not be found anywhere...during the search though we did find something much more entertaining...brand New Garden Gloves...after many minutes of trying to put on the gloves I decided to help....we tugged and struggled, practiced spreading our fingers, our thumb, all together...push , pull, yank and tug...stretch and shove...I could not get the gloves on her little hands no matter how hard I tried,,,,what's the deal I'm saying..Mom looked up and rather quietly said...I think they are upside down...
As you can see, we flipped them and on they went. But I discovered another activity for Mom...We are always looking for "busy work".
And when we finished and she removed the gloves she grabbed her cough drop and put it in that pesky missing pocket...it was right there on her jacket all the time....

ELECTRICA Elise..

Mom is settled in pretty good at Grand Pearle...Cruise Ship/Assisted Living...I have new heroes in my life now...Alicia, Valerie, Amber, Ashley, and David....they work At Grand Pearle as CareGivers for Mom...what a grand staff...so understanding and kind and they have a sense of humor...I like that the best..
This is going to be a new chapter for us...I think it will be a happy one because Mom tries so very hard to be in good spirits all the time...
Today was her birthday. I have declared that everyday will be her birthday...for her a big party is a funny hat and chocolate. How hard will that be? I also have determined that she is a super hero.....she is now.....
ELECTRICA ELISE ! Determined to spread joy everywhere she goes and leave smiles on everyone's face when she leaves....
This is her first cartoon!

Ella's First Essay...and certainly not her last

Ella will be writing an essay for a special project this week. The content...what would it be like if Martin Luther King,Jr. Had not presented his "I Have A Dream Speech"
After reading the speech I ask for her summary. She is pretty much Spot On in understanding what the words meant...Her translation....if everyone could just leave the past, join hands and move forward...not carrying judgements along with them...
After she was through sharing all of this info with me, I was basking in the pleasure of knowing how smart, how sensitive and how enlightened this little young girl was...
Then her Mom shared with me...before you go on basking in how smart your granddaughter is and how she got all this from you...just know that as late as just last year, every night before she went to bed she thanked Jesus for Martin Luther King,Jr. because he made it possible for her (a white girl) to be able to speak to Big Daddy (a black man)

My New Year's Resolution.....
Write More....
My sanity depends on it....
