Oh Susan sorry to hear about your dad and great niece. I know my dad's driving was so scary but he insisted he was fine. That was a big part of why we moved him to an independent living facility so he wouldn't need to drive. Now I get to drive him if he needs to go anywhere, and he is a terrible passenger! He gets really annoyed when I won't go faster and when I stop at red lights. LOL
That is a beautiful needlecase you got Pat, and it sounds like it arrived on just the right day. I am so glad my DH and DS usually do the shovelling. The last time I shovelled I could barely walk for days. Not gonna make that mistake again. Did the ER figure out what was wrong with your DM?
