Talented Women

I organized the Womens Fair held on May 23 in McBride. It had 23 different workshop options that women were able to pick four from to do over the whole day.
It was a free event that included all workshops, lunch, free gifts, and door prizes.
It was a fun day that always reminds me of the great talented women we have in our valley that are perhaps not the loudest about what they do and how great they are. Typical women!
Next year I would love to do the fair and include a sleepover pajama party that included watching movies on the big screen. What do people think?

It is tough

Today I had to call and ask for help for my grandparents who are 76 and 86. They just moved to town this year and my grandfather's health is declining rapidly. My grandmother is being quite stubborn and is determined that she can look after him on her own and does not need help!
So now after having left the issue alone for many months she has finally resigned to being okay with someone coming to wash the windows. It is my hope that when I take a worker to their house this week after listening to the nurse she may be more open to accepting personal and respite care for Grandpa.
It is very sad to see them needing help now after year of watching them live in a rugged rural area running a farm and mill and being perfectly indepedent.
I hope all goes well this week.
