We used to travel to Rice Lake near Cambridge to fish every summer w/my mom and dad. We stayed in a fish resort.

We haven't been back since dad passed and I do miss it. I loved the different habits there. Gravy on fries, pizza at McDonalds and those delicious MR BIG candy bars!!!!!!!

GK99, you sound awesome!

" LOL...she probably wouldn't notice for weeks!"

I had to laugh at this b/c my mom, 70 yrs old, has gotten very forgetful. It is sad, but my sisters and I can joke about it b/c it's really a scary thing.

The other day my sister and mom were in a phone conversation about Lady Bird Johnson dying and the kind of person she was. My mom had CNN on at her house. In the middle of that very conversation, my mom pipes in "Oh, Lady Bird Johnson died." like it was the first time she'd heard it!

My sister was crushed. But, we ended up laughing a bit trying to comfort ourselves.

Anyway, keep hanging in there GK!
