Arizona Makes a difference!!

I find all the flack about the new law just signed into being in Arizona to be fascinating and scary all at the same time. Here we have a law that says the obvious! Is someone crosses the border without following the law of having a passport and visa they are breaking the law and can be held accountable for that. DUH! It does not matter their intentions or thoughts. If we Americans cross the border into other countries without proper documentation and are caught they will throw us in jail and throw away the key.

On the other hand I do think the USA needs to re-due its immigration laws so it is a bit easier for people to move here. I have neighbors who have taken over 11 years to come here. But they waited and went through all the hoops to do it. Now they are here and are making great progress. They are eager to learn and contribute to society. But it never should have taken that long for the immigration to have taken place.

But that does not give permission for everyone crossing of the borders just because one wishes to. I support Arizona in every way I can for have the guts to protect their state by providing tools for the police to use when needed.

It is also amazing to me how people are screaming from the roof top how this law will allow police a police state and hurt people. Yet the people against this law are the ones throwing bottles, destroying property and doing all the name calling. Is that the pot calling the kettle black??? Just a thought..

Caring for Elderly brings laughs

So I had another funny today with my mother in law. I was working on the computer and everyone else was gone. Iris started calling my name asking me in her usual excited tone to come help her. So I get to a stopping a point and go all the way across the house to her room and ask what she wants. She tells me she has dropped her glasses and just can not reach them or see them. I need to get under the bed and get them for her. So she gets up after rocking back and forth forever and getting her rhythm up to speed. She totters out of the way and I go under the bed and chair to see what there is to find. realize this is always a fishing trip because most everything lives under there. We are not just talking dust bunnies. There are run away pills that just hop out of her hands on to the floor trying to save themselves from certain death. There are all kinds of crumbs from all manner of items eaten in the chair and bed. Even though this is vacuumed at least once a week I swear these things start to grow and populate down there. Then there is always layers of fabric ranging from thread size to blankets. Most of this is from the stuff she cuts up for quilts.

So after searching for what seemed like forever, yet realizing it was only a minute or less I found nothing. Then the thought came to me, I wonder could they possibly be on top of her head??? So get up and look right at here which I try not to do that often and ask which glasses she is missing. She gives ma quisical look because she only has one pair. I stand up and tell her they are on her face!!!!! Yes, that is right they are not hiding on her head or the floor or anywhere else. They are on her nose and ears right where they are supposed to be!!! She laughs and I leave to go continue my other duties around the house.

Such is a day living with Iris. Such important things must be solved immediatly or life will end as we know it! So the next time you loose your glasses please make sure you are not using them to try and find them!!! hahahaha.
