Change of Plans for Mom

(Parris Island, SC)  Hi 74 Lo 46 -- A wonderful day for doing nothing.

I've been asked about mom, so I thought I'd bring everyone up to date. After discussing the matter with my sister and her husband we decided it's time to move mom to Missouri to be with them. Everyone was in agreement (including Mom) that we'd try an assisted living home in NC, the state that she loves. But it's been a difficult adjustment for her emotionally. She needs to be closer to family, and my sister has room for her. We're planning to move her sometime in December. We'll keep you posted.

Our Verizon internet connection was brutally slow today so we didn't do a whole lot of computer work. I walked to Elliott's Beach down the road from the campground and sat on a swing for awhile, then came back to watch the NASCAR race. There's only one more race for this year after today. We know winter is coming when the racing season is over.

Tomorrow we move to Pelican's Roost RV Park at Mayport Navy Base, FL, our very favorite campground. And back to our favorite state, Florida (especially in the winter!).

Good luck to your mom. That sounds like a very workable solution. I hope everything works out the way you want it to.

Sometimes finding the perfect fit for your Mom takes a little trial and error. Being closer to family might be just the perfect solution. It took us a couple of tries with our Mom's to find the right place.

Enjoy Pelican's Roost. We know how much you love that place. We do too!

We're sorry to hear that the assisted living home didn't work out for your mom. That can be a difficult adjustment, and perhaps being with family is the best solution for her. It's wonderful that your sister has room for her. We hope everything works out well.

sorry to hear the facility didn't work out for your mom...it definitely is a major life change at that age..its great that your sister will take her...its a shame all you went through getting her settled...but at least you will have more peace of mind knowing she is with family...
