It's official..mom's moving to Minnesota on October 12th. That's next Thursday. Lorraine is busy packing up boxes and sending them my way. Char will be coming up a week or two after mom settles in to help me with administrative details and other loose ends.
One of the parents in my Daycare Co-op had a grandmother and an aunt at Walker Methodist and had nothing but great things to say about the place. She said that there are plenty of activities for the residents and it's just a matter of scheduling it and showing up frequently so the staff knows that mom's got squeaky wheels. So far, that tactic worked with getting her a spot so I'll stick with the program.
