Alzheimers Walk

If you'd like to walk with me to raise awareness please click the link to the right! We can walk together in Tulsa on Saturday, September 28th! You can also donate even $10 to the cause. Brenda Avadian of The Caregiver's Voice has also graciously offered to donate some of her books to those who contribute. Remember if you want to walk, let me know and I'll have a T-Shirt made just for you as well.

Here's Brenda's Incentive!!!!
Dear Carol,
To HELP you achieve your team goals of $500 and 6 members, I will do the following...

In HONOR of your Mom, Joy Collins, I will donate 2 personally autographed and dated Finding the JOY in Alzheimer's: When Tears are Dried with Laughter to the first 2 people who donate OVER $75 or more to your team walk.

In MEMORY of my father, Martin Avadian, I will donate 1 autographed and dated "Where's my shoes?" My Father's Walk Through Alzheimer's to the FIRST person who donates OVER $100 to your team walk.

These gifts will allow your team to receive a lasting impact and truly personal gift beyond (any sore muscles after) the walk!

Living in BIXBY

THE HOUSE

Yes! We did it! Yes! with a little help from our friends! We been faced with the challenge of moving our 2 families due to a job transfer to the Tulsa area. Unbelievably by God's grace we sold 2 homes, packed 2 homes, moved 2 small children and 2 aging grandparents under one roof and things are going unbelievably well.

I just "took a break" and took Mom, Dad, Justus, & Annaliese in the car and drove to the Arkansas river for a very fancy lunch at an elegant cafe' on the riverwalk. Dad loved getting to stare at the river drifting by us. He was proud to be a "Tulsan". Mom enjoyed her chicken salad croissant with grapes & almonds. I've just been dragging her all over Tulsa, and she's doing just fine!!! She even made a good trip with us to the farmer's market.

We actually live in Bixby; the coolest place on earth! It is a little country community quickly turning into a trendy thing. Y'know me always wanting to be in on what's "HIP"!

Here are some random pics of what's going on this afternoon.

The new bed is mom & dad's!!! It is a pillow top queen with soft & luxorious sheets. They had been in the same old bed for over 35 years, and it was a bed they bought at a yard sale. So welcome to Bixby!

Here is Dad in his new sitting room with his flat screen TV. He is doing what he does best... napping. Well now mom has something to do besides watch him nap!

You will see above that she has "snuck" upstairs to be with her granddaughter. She just grabs that handrail and off she goes to play with the kids. Annaliese is more than thrilled to babysit Grammy and play in her new room.

Come for a visit! We have a cool guitar room as well. Sean would want me to include these pics.

Justus has all ready rode his bike across the street to play with his new buddy Caden!
