I'm not sure if my Gran would be horrified or thrilled with my Payday "ritual". When I get my latte in the drive through of our SMALL INDEPENDENT coffee shop in my town of less than 12k I pay with a ten... and now I don't even need to explain to the girls on Friday, "My drink, make someone smile with a drink and keep the change."
Now they SMILE when I just COME UP... so more smiles and OTHER people have started doing it. XD
It's not a new idea at ALL, but it's a NEW idea around here in the very very frugal/reserved small town Midwest.
It's selfish though, as I love it and it's in honor of my Gran and a good friend.
Mwah mwah! I'm sure the nurses all adore you and there is always next year for Art Fest. You will do it!
i've been thinking of you and will continue to do so. i'm sorry that you and your family are going through so much right now... most of all, your mother. she reminds me, in some ways, of my grandmother!
i have heard about rosa via your LJ for years now... she seems like one of those tricky old women from unsolved mysteries where the home owner comes home one day to find their house has been completely gutted because they stole it all. she scares me and i have a feeling that one day you're going to find even more that she's done that you couldn't have even imagined.
Glad to see you posting again and glad your mother is getting the care she needs. As for Rosa...have you checked the house contents against the insurance inventory? It might be good to find out what is missing and report it to the proper authorities...it might even be a deterrant to future lawsuits or Rosa returning from vacation though considering the speed of her departure I am wondering if she plans to return at all? In the event she does now might be a good time to install some 'nanny cams' so you can see how your mother is actually being cared for in your absense and what is really going on in the house. Nothing like pending criminal charges to get rid of a people who want to file frivolous lawsuits and most of those little cameras are small, cheap and easy to install these days...I imagine Beau could manage to hook them up and get them to report to a computer hard drive.
Take care of yourself, please, you and your family are in my thoughts.
it's so good to read your posts once again,although i am very sorry to hear of your sick mom,and having to deal with the ever coniving rosa. as always you are such a generous soul to offer your artfest adventure to someone,that someone will truly love the experience,i know i did the time i went. good luck with everything sweetie!

Your Mom is such a lovely lady.
