No you are not alone!! Because my Mother lives with us now (has for the last 3 years) she can't be left alone overnight. Which means it is so hard to go anywhere. I've had to take her 120 miles to meet my brother so he can take her for a week or so and he has to drive a 120 miles to our meeting place too. Mother just can't take the ride anymore either. We finally found someone in our church this year that said she'd love to come stay with Mother and the 2 dogs. They got along just great! So DH and I hooked on to the camper and stopped and picked up our 6 year old grandson and went to Clinton lake up by Larance, KS, (KC, FT. Levenworth area) our youngest son met us out there every evening after he got out of school at Levenworth, and we had a ball!! We have't spent any time with our son in 4 years, and he and his nephew got to know each other. It was just a great trip, and I didn't have to worry about my Mom. I feel 10 years younger. Our 6 year old grandson is an entertament all by himself. :D :D
