Today is the Festival of Trees - a fundraiser for our county's Hospice. I'll be going with my daughter and the grandspawn. I've got a small pile of cash that will, one way or another, go to Hospice today.
In the 7 months (so far) that they've been taking care of MIL, they've all been fabulous! Her regular nurse and the 5 or 6 others we've dealt with are amazingly kind and patient, as well as helpful and informative, making sure we know what we should and shouldn't do. The aides who help MIL stay clean (showers before, sponge baths now) have been tops, especially Jessica, who's pretty much our regular. (Plus Jessica is the one who was here when I had my seizure in May and she realized something was off and called 911 and my husband.)
Anyway, the festival has free admission, but I'm assuming there will be stuff for sale plus the donation buckets that show up at other events in the county. I can't say enough good things about the organization and I'm looking forward to this chance to give a little back. Even tho I'll have to venture out into the cold to support them.
