What is Alzheimer's disease?
(11/14/09)
Although we hear about Alzheimer's disease almost daily, it is still a mystery to most of us. What is it? How do you get it? Can you get over it? Here, from the Alzheimer's Association Web site, www.alz.org, is a good overview: Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder named for German physician Alois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906. Scientists have learned a great deal about Alzheimer's disease in the century since Dr. Alzheimer first drew attention to it...

Ten warning signs of Alzheimer's disease
(11/07/09) Hi neighbors. November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month. Alzheimer's is a disease unlike any other. People who care for a parent or other loved one with Alzheimer's are unlike any other caregivers as well...
Times of our lives
(10/17/09) Hi neighbors. As we watch this season of changes we should all take a little time out of our busy lives to reflect on not only the beautiful foliage, but the lessons offered from their beauty. Looking back on my life I can see a long procession of seasons and the changes that came with them. But the seasons are short compared to our lives...
Pass it on!
(10/03/09) Hi neighbors. There is some good news if you are a history buff or genealogist. The two-volume set "Nevada & Vernon County Heritage 1855-2005 Pass It On!" family history book has been marked down to $75 for the set. The original price was $100 a set; but with several books left to sell, the Vernon County Historical Society wants to get them out to the reading public. ...
Do you just need more dirt?
(09/26/09) Hi neighbors. My mother often told me that plants are only as good as the dirt they are growing in. If they aren't thriving, they may just need more dirt. I think her advice was sound; about plants or people. Recently I repotted my Christmas cactus that was again root-bound in the large pot I repotted it into last year when it faced the same "space deficit" resulting in the same root-bound condition...
Behave yourself!
(09/19/09) Hi neighbors. The main thing on my mind this week is blatant disregard for social decorum. In other words, let us talk about rude, crude and belligerent celebrities. The first one that comes to mind this week is Kanye West. Although I didn't watch the MTV Music Video Awards show, I have seen the replay of his actions many more times than he deserves the publicity over...
Sit a spell
(09/12/09) Hi neighbors. Have a cup of coffee and deliberate on whether you should turn on the heater or the air conditioner today. If you are like me you may end up doing both. It is good porch sitting weather though and I hope you are getting an opportunity now and then to just "sit a spell" on the porch, stoop, steps or whatever you have to sit on...
Summer's last hurrah!
(09/05/09)
Hi neighbors. Another Labor Day is upon us! Where did the summer go? If the last week means anything, we might as well start packing up all of our "summer stuff" early. It looks like another year where summer will simply "fall" into winter with no autumn to speak of... |
