I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you! I am super excited about being 70. Seriously! I'm about to go across the street with SIL and DH and have a mimosa on the beach.

That's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for!

One thing I read about dealing with parents with dementia - it's not like children who you're trying to teach good behavior or ethical treatment or something like that. Sometimes it's just best to lie to them. It's not like they're going to learn.

I must say, it goes against the grain but there it is.
