I found a couple of jars of bread and butter pickels that I made ten or more years ago. Pickels do not keep forever. I found that out as soon as I opened the jars. I poured them into the toilet and flushed. That was the last time the toilet could be used for almost a week.
Don, my neighbor from downstairs used a snake which helped a bit, but it was still not working like it should.
I got a snake from Criag but it didn't do anything.
Don rented an electric snake and worked on it but it wasn't helping.
Don's friend came over and forces the snake 25 feet down the drain. It worked!!
I don't have to wait to visit Mom to used the toilet now. Whew.....

Mom
Mom has had numous dreams where cousin Barb (or other people) have dropped off their grandchildren for Mom to babysit for the night. She never sees the faces, nor do they talk to her. She invites them into her bed and they go to sleep for the night.
The first time the person dropping off the children left $23.00 for Mom for sitting. Coinsedently, the cash Mom has in her purse is $23.00. They only paid her once and she wonders why.
With every sitting, one child is black. Teresa corrected that by taking out the black chair in her bed room. She has also covered the mirrors where pictures of her great grand children were, hoping to stop these dreams.
Yesterday I was visiting and we were in her bed room. When I am there, Pepper come to the bed room, check on me, and then goes to the kitchen to check on Teresa, then back to me, back to her, over and over. Mom said, "Do yo see that black boy?" I informed her it was just Pepper coming in and out.
I took a walk around the house outside and saw that Teresa has been so busy taking care of plants. She has put in ferns, flowers and vegatable plants (12 tomato). It looks better today than it has in years. The driveway was sealed although it should be repaved.

HI
How are you two doing? I am fine with the exception of passing kidney stones this week. I passed one the other day, no pain, no blood, just a stone popping out.
Today at Mom's I passed a very small one. No pain but blood in the urine. This tells me I have more coming. Oh, Joy!
Mom was happy to see me today. Her informants told her that I died in a car crash. They also told her that Craig was shot in the leg six times. Later after Barb left, she asked to call her sister, Marcy. Teresa got the phone and I called Marcy. They talked for a while. Then Mom was telling me stories of our brother, Craig, as a baby was so crabby and cried all the time except when they were home. She said she was driving to Chicago with Marc and Wally with baby Craig and he was crying and crying. Finally Mom told Wally to turn around and return to Milwaukee. It seems Craig was very constipated as a baby. I'll have to check with Marcy for accuacy.
As you might have noticed, Mom's drive way is a mess. It should be sealed every two years and probably hasn't been done in four. A company left a bid of $165 to do the driveway.
Stacia paid over $200 on her driveway last year. I called the guy and he is coming out tomorrow at 11AM.
I was going to go to Bingo with Wilma tomorrow but she isnt' feeling good and with my kidney stone problem, it's better to go to Bingo next week. Now I can be available to be sure the guy does a good job.
Stacia said she was talking to Teresa and she was saying how much she loves her job living in such a nice house and being with such a good family, but is afraid her job will end soon. She has "willed" the tomato plants to Stacia. I've gotten the drift that Teresa thinks we are out of money. Several times she has bought food or over the counter medicines for Mom out of her own pocket.
I just took my first withdrawl from that loan account we opened this week so we have a long way to go just on that money. I'll have to talk to Teresa and assure her she has a job with Mom for a long time yet.
Mom, Barb and I were in Mom's bedroom and Mom wanted to call Teresa and of course couldn't remember her name. She called out, "Bertha, Bertha!" Barb and I started laughing and laughing. Mom was laughing back and said you don't have to call the right name everytime. I said, "Well, I'll call you Josephine!" Mom replied that she likes that name!
You know she's goofy now.
You may have noticed that I am sending this to a blog. I've been told to write down the funny/goofy thing Mom says, so here it is.
Mom came up with the story that Craig announced that he is no longer married to Barb but now married to Mom. She didn't know what to say or do. She wondered what to do when he wanted to kiss her. The story changed that he instead had "another woman." I told her no. By the time Craig and Barb were on vacation, he had dumped the first woman and and another one. I told Mom that Craig was with Barb on vacation. She said "He better be!" The story morphed now that Craig JR is having the affair.
Will I see you this weekend? Have a good night
Love
