Day 7 Gone to the dogs!

        Well things had been going fairly well with the exception of Mom's desire to go to Canada...... for those of you who don't know, she is a "Canadian citizen".  ( Here legally if you were wondering )    When I was younger I remember saying she was an "alien" this was long before E.T. hit the big screen.   She has a younger brother and sister-in -law (my favorite aunt and uncle by the way)  who live in Canada and came to visit her about a year ago.

      My mom grew up in a small town and there is a wonderful beach approx 20 min from her home.  She spent most summers at this beach located in  New Brunswick Canada (far east coast).    She has wonderful memories about this beach and that time in her life. She wants to go back to visit/stay.  This is not a possibility, tickets are about $1000 each and school starts in 3 weeks not enough time.

       She doesn't remember her brothers visit at all.  She thinks I am lying. 
She got quite an attitude and threatened to just go by herself...
Me: " how are you going to get there?"..
Mom: "I'll just go out there" (meaning the front door)........
Me: "then what?"
Mom: "I'll get a job so I can get there" 
Me: "what will you do?"   
Mom:" I can just do this" ( as she flings her arms in the air... kinda like a traffic cop in NY).
LOL


 She was being such a turkey.... I called them so they could verify I was not lying to her..... After several minutes of telling her that she had seen "her family" and that there is no way to go right now.. she settled down a bit.   But today it all came back again.

Thank goodness Shelbs was here with her laptop!  She has a webcam and one of the programs it has displays an avatar of your choice... we picked a blonde poodle. Mom loves dogs I mean really loves dogs. Every night she pets the dog goodnight and says "I love you"............ doesn't even blink my way.... not kidding!!  :)

This avatar imitates your every move. You blink, it blinks, you smile it, smiles etc.... thank goodness it got her mind off traveling... at least until tomorrow... we shall see!

Here is a link to view the webcam program it is pretty neat.. Kids would love it!!
