I took Momma up to our lake house (on Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes) and this morning we enjoyed her favorite country breakfast! Gravy & Biscuits!!! #makingmemories

Beautiful! Photo. Good for you, making all the smiles. I'm from Niagara originally. Lived in Cleveland, too, long ago. How are things on the frozen lake?

We live in the Cleveland area, and the snow finally melted today ... our lake house is up on Catawba Island - Port Clinton area — Cedar Point. Trying to make each day count - the last couple of days have been hard — she’s starting to really have stiffness in her right leg ... it almost just drags. Her speech is so soft ... it overwhelms me.

Yes. It's hard. And neither of us should be up at this hour. It's almost 2 years now since my sweetheart died and I still don't sleep well. Now I'm caring for my mother, who is 92. We have good times, too. I didn't get the sausage gravy quite right when I tried making it for last month, though!

I was just thinking the same thing — it is 3am ... so I think I heard something — always worried she’s going to get up and fall... so down to the couch I go for the night. So nice chatting with you - will connect again. Going to try and zzz I will be curious to know if your sweetheart had CBD? Blessings to you and your Momma. Sweet Dreams

I am sure that no matter the challenges, the pain, your love and fun times helps your mom to cope a little better than if she had no fun or love.

My sister use to live in Cleveland (Broadview Heights), Ohio. I use to enjoy my visits there. Once we had a great laugh. I got on my plane the wrong day and complained to the stewardess that someone was sitting in my assigned seat. I was in the wrong and the airline had some empty seats and moved me to one of them. MEMORIES are GOOD!!!

That term Lake House brings back memories, it's not something we really have in the UK but I have a friend near Toronto and went to stay with her and she took me to her Lake House. I still remember the magic of sitting on the deck listening to the loons. Enjoy.
