Intro – HOLA!

Hello. Welcome! No clue what I am doing, but am excited to take the plunge. 

A little background: my husband and I live in Los Angeles (my name is Mary and I’m in LALA land…get it?), living the dream, having a good time, and traveling whenever possible. About a year ago, my hippy parents moved out from the Midwest to live with us, mostly because my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a couple of years ago. We wanted to all be together to support him and my mom, because Alzheimer’s and dementia pretty much totally suck. As we’ve gone through this process, my dad’s healthcare providers have advised us to “just enjoy today” and take things one day at a time. One doctor even “prescribed” that my dad find joy every day.

SO, that’s what we’re trying to do here. We bought a house and now we all live together while we wait for my parents’ back house to be built (PERMITS ARE A BIAAATCH). This blog is a little peek into our world: the good, the sad, and the funny. Thanks for stopping by.
