Our high today was 35 and that was even with some periods of sunshine between the snow showers. There was no accumulation here in the river valley. The little bit, with ice, that they they got in some of the higher elevations caused for a lot of school closings and fender-benders. And yet our flowering trees are bursting with color. I'll try to get a photo by the end of the week.
My friend, Vicki, is having to put her 87 year old mother into a nursing home, for at least the time that Medicare will allow. The Senior Evaluation Center has told her that her mother should definitely have someone with her 24/7. They'll have to make the decision as to what comes after the nursing home - full-time care at home, or an assisted living facility. Always such tough decisions to be made.
John had his first PT session this morning. I don't think they hurt him as much as he feared, but they are definitely going to put him through the routines. He has exercises to do at home, too, with 3 more treatments before we leave for Charleston next Wednesday for the basketball tournament. John was really hurting tonight, and he had reached his limit on acetaminophen for the day. He realizes that he worked too hard and overdid his home exercises.
We were going to watch La Vie en Rose tonight, but the Netflix DVD wouldn't play. We're going to send it back with a note, and e-mail them, too. It wasn't our machine. I tried to watch Notes from a Scandal, with Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, but gave up about a third of the way through - I really didn't care what happened to the characters.
Today's photo is some apple blossoms from Colorado.

My heart just goes out to your friend Vicki. It certainly isn't easy when it gets to the stage that we can no longer care for our parents. She may find some help at eldercare.com. She can type in the zip code of where she lives and get a list of homes and caregivers.

I hope you get to watch La Vie en Rose. I just watched it (from Netflix) and absolutely loved it. I was so glad that I saw it before the Oscars.
Thanks Bill, for the web site. I'll pass it on to her.
Bev, as noted today, we have a new copy of La Vie en Rose on the way. We loved Cotillard in the other movie we've seen with her.
