Happy ( but belated) New Year to my lovely grumpy old friends. I hope that you all go through the holidays with sanity and families intact.

Mine was very quiet and cosy as my son had been to visit at the beginning of the month so we had our Christmas then.
I've been trying to catch up to thread from time to time but just have been busy doing other things. Life for me at the moment is relatively peaceful and calm. I was looking past at out earliest posts and I could that I posted over 10 posts in one day. I certainly had a lot to grump about.

But now the newer mellower me doesn't need top grump so much so I'll just be dropping in every here so often from now on to see how everone's doing. The only fly in the ointment is that Mr Home's Oma and Opa are both losing their marbles and starting on their final descent.

Not being able speak Dutch fluently yet I avoid their up to 10 calls a day they make because they can't work the tv remote control out. They've been re-housed to an accomodation for seniors with their own flats. They have a nurse to come in and clean and bath them since they seem to be forgetting to do that lately. Also, they've both become bit incontinent (both ways) on and off. Mr. Home has had to spend time with them ater work a coule of time a week much/ of the time spent tying to convenince one or both to wear their "Pamper" Then he usually has two accidents to clear up. I don't go as I have nothing to offer and can't speak Dutch so send my deep regards and sometimes cake.
(((((((special hugs to: Batgirl, Plummie,Handy, Sad,Snowy,KJ-all the stalwarts))))) you keep this place running nicely.
Happy. Healthy, Full of Love, Peace ,Stability and Prosperity New Year you all xx
