Get ready!!!

Some time is late July, Mem finally realized that going back home to live alone just wasn't an option anymore.  So after some discussion, we invited her to move in with us.  The only problem was, we had about a 12 day notice from the time the decision had been made to the day of her discharge from the convalescent home.  Twelve days is not alot of time to clear out a room that you have been using as your office and classroom for the last 9 years.  Not only did ALL the items in that room need to be packed up and moved out, the walls needed to be repaired from years of tacks and double sided tape.  After it was repaired and sanded, it all needed to be repainted.  Then we had to move her essentials in.  Lastly, we needed to install a stair lift as the only full bath  and her bedroom is on the second floor.  It was no small task, but by the grace of God and working till well after midnight many nights, we got it done!  She moved in on August 8th!
