With deep sadness I wish to write that my wonderful father in law, Harry Rosenberg passed away on Dec 17th. He was beloved by all and was remembered as a gentleman.

TRY THIS! Find a black light and take a bunch of different flowers into a dark room. Shine the light on the flower petals and see what the flowers look like under UV light. You can see what the bee sees>

I haven't had the energy to blog in the last 6 weeks and this article pretty much sums up why I have been off my computer. My wonderful father in law fell the beginning of Nov and has been in the hospital ever since his tumble. He broke both arms, the left one in two places, smashed open his head and generally bashed himself up. When I asked him why he didn't use his walker, cane or the care giver who was with him he said, "I don't need any help". And so here we are 6 weeks after the fact and it's not fun.

Old folks out there= "Pride cometh before the fall", really has meaning. Use the medical devices that will prevent you from a debilitating fall!
