I had the pleasure of meeting Gwen O'Leary while on a boat ride in CO. We visited and she told me she has written a book - When Life hands you Alzheimer's, make Apron's! She and her sister were care givers for their Mother and she started making bibs and aprons while caring for her mother. She is going to have an article in Threads magazine and the Country Register coming up soon. She is selling the book and aprons and donating the proceeds to Alzheimer's Respite. I would encourage you to see her book at alzheimerhumor.blogspot.com and you can purchase the book through AuthorHouse.com. Several friends and I are going to have an apron making party and send the aprons to her. So many are touched by this disease and I am glad to help in some way.
