I have been wanting to blog for awhile now, and have finally taken the plunge.
I enjoy the blogs of many of my daughters friends, and even those of folks that I don't know.
Choosing a name for this creation has been a bit like choosing a name for a new baby. It had to express some feeling, it had to mean something.
I was talking with my daughter, Rachel last night about some of the things going on in our home and said "I feel like Alice in Wonderland" She said there's your title "down the rabbit hole.
That's why I have smart children !
After pondering the title I realize that I have been in and out of this rabbit hole many times, you know what I mean, the times when you look around yourself, even though you know that you are you and you are where you are supposed to be and still say "WHAT ?"
My most recent trip into the rabbit hole began last summer when my mother-in-law landed in the hospital and on her next to the last day there her doctor came in and told her she could not go home alone and could not drive anymore, and that he would like to try to get her in a nursing home, at least for physical theraphy. My husband, Lester, his brother, Don and the two spouses, one being me, all voted that she could come home with us, while all the paper shuffling was being done to go to the "rehab" center. That took two weeks. Two weeks of meds and meals on time, vitals being monitored, etc. We took her, they didn't keep her... and she is still in our home and depending on who you ask and when you ask, one of us has dementia. Hence the "Rabbit Hole" because most days I pretty sure it is me !
I don't know what I plan on doing with this thing. I'll probably just ramble. I love quotes from books that make you say "Yeah, that's it exactly !, I love creating pretty things, and I love the antics of my children and grandchildren. I'm pretty sure, all will included.
