dauhgter will actually be here!!!!! Can you believe????

Spoke to AD last night and she is all set to come out here to take care of Bonnie Lou.  We will have to leave before she gets here because she is trying to miss the FT Worth rush hour traffic, which I do not blame her.  Bonnie Lou seems much better,however will not eat much, however she still beggs at the table.

No another note; you guys remember my friend that passed away about a month ago?  We had her husband out for supper last night.  When he got here, I was on phone.  When I hung up the phone, he walked over to me; we hugged and then he handed my a little velvet pouch.  He and his son were going through my freind's jewelry.  They gave me a necklace, bracelet and earrings, tourquoise.  She loved Southwest jewelry.

I was completely blown away.  Not expecting this at all.  I do not think I have ever been so honored in my life.  I now have something of her's to have with me as a reminder of our friendship.

Will let you guys know who the Dog Sitting job went.  Have a good week end all.  And once again, thanks for all your prayers for sweet Bonnie Lou.  Prayer is a powerflul thing.

I would recommend that some boundries be set before she come in, and you continue working your program. Is it ok if she smokes? Has friends over? Are you expecting her to clean the house? By listing your expectations up front, both of you can agree what needs to happen when you're gone.

Hi Clara,

How very thoughtful of your good friend's husband.  I know you will treasure the gift as a fond memory of your friend.

Praying that you have a great weekend and all goes well.

Hey Clara..

I go with Tiger...make sure the rules are all "up front".....AND, I would have a back up plan in case she messes up...That little doggie is just tooo sweet to take any chances on......

Folks not in recovery, can "turn on a dime" for the negative.......I would make sure contact was each day, checking up on Bonnie Lou and yea, BACKUP plan, definitely.......HUGS to you and Bonnie Lou
