"Worst hotel, not worth the stay "
We stayed there for one day although we planned to stay at Munnar for two days but seeing this hotel Meghdoot we didn't even want to stay for a single day. Rooms and bathrooms having a stinking smell, blankets and bedsheets were not clean, no one was there to listen to your problem. Staff was not at all cooperative. At night when we told manager about our problems, his behaviour was not good, he simply said that if you have any problem you can leave our hotel right now. I suggest don't stay in this hotel.

"Overall services in the hotel were average"
It was my business trip along with my colleagues in January. For the hotel destination I would rate it as a good place. The location of the hotel was very good. The hotel had an average appearance. The booking and front office was good and I booked the room through online. Food was also average in the hotel. Overall services in the hotel were average. I would say that the room was average. It is an average hotel overall.

I have experienced the good quality food, good rooms, excellent service, more over 24 hr hot water available for bathing, every day changing of bed sheets, cleaning of floor, all things are very good and excellent. Outdoor view was good from the balcony.

"Awesome place for stay with great services"
This hotel located bit far from the main town. This hotel room was well decorated and fully furnished. Its food service were decent but has lot of scope for improvement. Its had good views of the valley on one side. This hotel was in my budget. I was stay here for two days.
"Overall, stay in the hotel was value for money"
The visit to the hotel was a family trip in the month of October. The hotel is close by city and convenient to locate. The services of the staff in the hotel were helpful and friendly and I also remember a driver called Santosh. Around the hotel there is a shopping mall situated. The amenities in the hotel were good in condition and there was no delay in check-in and check-out. The facilities in the room were good and the hotel provided vegetarian food with good quality. The overall, stay in the hotel was value for money.
"Food and service are good but can improve "
Meghdoot is located a bit far from the main town but has good views of the valley on one side. Do not expect a luxuriant stay, as the rooms are quite minimalist for the value charged. Food and services were decent but has lot of scope for improvement. The main view points (especially the waterfalls) are quite close. If here, do take a walk on the hillsides which are less noisy compared to the main town side.

"Excellent ambience and good hospitality "
There was difficulty in finding the hotel and it was convenient to travel. The appearance of the hotel was excellent and interiors are quite attractive. The staff at the hotel were helpful and professional in service and room allotted was spacious and well maintained with required amenities. The food given by the hotel was satisfactory in quality and taste was fine. The hotel lacks in activity but check-in and check-out procedure was done smoothly. I would recommend this hotel to other travellers also and my stay was relaxed and comfortable.
"Delicious food with veg and non-veg varieties"
Stay at the hotel was very nice. It was conveniently located. Location of the hotel was fine. Look wise, it was superb. Staff behaviour was helpful and cooperative. Booking and front office staff was perfect. Rooms were neat, clean, and spacious. Pillow cover and bed sheet was neat and clean. TV, AC, geyser, everything were available and working properly. Check-in and check-out service was easy. Nothing was available in activities. Food was available and it was delicious. Varieties were available there in the menu card and both veg and non-veg varieties were served. I will recommend this hotel to other visitors. I went there with my family and it was a relaxing trip. It was totally money worth.
"A waste management system in Munnar is in order."
Okay do not mistake the overall rating as a definite factor for your stay here. I have rated this solely because this was what i wanted and what was delivered to me as discussed while checking in. Firstly about the location a small area called Pothema du nestled in between the tea gardens hill of Munnar. Although en route you might come across this place as neat once you are in the center you realize the cost of burgeoning growth in this sector. Not a huge discomfort although a eye soar a-midst this beautiful place. Seriously, I was flabbergasted with the beauty surrounding this place coupled with the morning dew and light fog, it jus left me in awe. Now about the hotel, not a 5 star most definitely. a very comfortable stay for the price i payed. Insist for including breakfast. Am sure with a little courteous but shrewd talking you can get a very cost effective, as with everything else in life. As for the amenities we received towels, hot drinking water on request, and a hot water in the shower not better explained than in the words of my friend... ''i just did not wanna come out''... We stayed for a night, pleasant stay, luckily we had a good movie and a few drinks and phone calls from our near and dear ones to keep us preoccupied through the night. I did not mention food as we were told that the food would be brought from outside so we brought our food from our tour around the town. P.s try avoiding road side food stops, exorbitant prices and not worth the costs. The night was really cool and i want to add pin drop silence as we were quite a bit from the town, the only effects of the traffic were visible headlight from miles across the valley from a road on the hill towards the town. Serene, like watching a television with the mute on. The morning was another cherry on my cake, as excepted because I knew this when i check out my room before checkin. Nothing but the birds chirping and an remarkable view of the tea estate across the hills only got me wondering what was across those hills. For tea we had to step outside, because again as mentioned to us earlier there was no in house cook. Simple, across the street me and my friend found our cuppa, revitalizing mind, body and soul. Then walk. We just went bonkers with our camera in our hand and nature abounding beauty welcoming us with open arms. Of course after we cross the small waste dump on the road sides. Really heart wrenching it is to see the town not being taken care of. A waste management system in Munnar is in order. ((Personally i think the resorts and hotel should step up and give back to Munnar for using her resources. We have to keep these resources for our kids.)) Back into our room i had to gently remind the staff for our breakfast as promised to us. And on the dot at 0730 we got plenty dosas neatly sent to our room. After a quick shower and good breakfast we hit the roads back to Kochi.

meghdoot resort was an awesome resort...we enjoyed alot there n we haven\'t seen such a beautiful place in our life,,the scenic beauty was superb and beautiful in meghdoot resorts...food,neatness of rooms,respect given by them was very good and we are satisfied.
"No restaurant facility; spacious rooms"
It was a nice hotel and I didn't face any issue in this hotel. The location of the hotel was convenient. It was around 3 to 4 kms from the bus stand. The staff were not so professional, but they were helpful. They provided quick service to me. The room was neat, clean and well maintained. All the amenities were provided in the room like AC, TV and geyser. The wash-room was neat and clean. All the time cold and hot water facility were provided to me. The restaurant was not there in the hotel. They arranged food from outside. Other activities like indoor and outdoor games were not there in the hotel. I went with my own vehicle for sightseeing.

it has been the greatest musical equipment purchase i've ever made. the interface is easy to pick up, and very powerful. the fact that this same interface was carried over to the 16+ and the ASR's is testiment to ensoniq's vision. the OS left room for future expansion to those other machines, and therefore a window of backward compatibility that, with it's support for the earlier mirage keyboard, proves that you don't have to rebuild the friggin' wheel everytime you put out a new peice of equipment. kudos to ensoniq!
i wish i'd upgraded the scsi/memory interface back when they were still around. if anyone knows where the upgrade kit is, i'd greatly appreciate it.
BTW, way back when, an interesting tidbit about the EPS is that it's input stage is twice as noisy as it's output stage. so, if you use some of the EPS utilities that are around for converting .wav files to the EPS, or if you take samples from an EPS16+ or ASR keyboard and play them back on the EPS, you'll find that the 'dirt' that seems to be an earmark of the EPS is gone! (of course any effects on a 16+ or ASR sample will be gone, but the basic sample format is the same)
-pax, cliff
Unfortunately, the bugger's finicky, (never did find a scsi disk that worked), buggy, (latest OS only crashed about once every 3 hours), and hard to maintain.

How do CCR repeaters link?
How are the repeaters in the CC network linked? Is it through radio transmission on a freq different than the send and receive freqs we program into our radios?
I'm also curious about how that works :confused:

If you take the car to a reputable body shop and have it blocked and sanded so the paint is flat with no waves you can have a beautiful car with those colors. Taking it to Maaco is the wosrt thing you can do if you want a good/high quality paint job... They don't spend the time to do it right, they use fairly cheap paint and if you want the better quality job you still have to pay for it...
How hard...
How hard is it to sand down the car myself? I guess I couldn't wet-sand it perfectly without waves by myself. but... say I just got all the paint off of it... would that make it any cheaper or no? I'm guessing no, cuz getting the paint that's on there now off, isn't that hard to do anyway?
I've also heard if I get all the moulding off myself I save some money? but I wasn't thinking of putting any of it back on anyhow. Sorry guys that last question was kinda dumb...about the sanding and all...... Seeing now that there's other posts about that. Anyway... One valid question I do have... is... would lacquer paint be best, as it was originally on this car? Or should I have it clear-coated ? |
Taking mouldings off will help, The best tip I know is to wash each panel with ajax and a red scotchbrite pad one panel at a time. The object is to dull the paint right up to and around the edges of each panel. When you see a Macco paint job fail it's always around the door handles and edges of the panels. This is because of the absent minded prep work inherent in these speed shops. Get the paint clean and dull before you drop it off and you'll get a better than average job out of them. Let them do the sanding
Laquer is old news... Base Coat/ Clear Coat my friend. Maaco usually uses an un catalylized single stage enamel but they will had the hardener if you want to pay for it... Pay for it...
I would suggest picking up a paint and body book at a book store and reading through it. It will give you most everything you need to know and then you can talk to a body shop and not let them snowball you.... Mark |
Ah man
Oh boy, everyone's talking about Maaco... heh, I don't wanna give the wrong impression.. the thought passed my mind... but I wasn't definatley going to bring it there. Not as stupid as I sound
heh.. well, thanks for all the info guys -Pete I still can't imagine any kinda brown being metallic... that doesn't compute for me... anybody know where I can see a pic of any metallic brown-shade painted car? like tan or somethin? Quote:

What are the rules on how we are supposed to give presents on Chanukah? Every night or only on the eighth? Is this a Jewish tradition? If so, what's Jewish about it?
When my mother was a kid, they celebrated Hanukkah the old-fashioned way: After lighting the candles, mom's parents would give her some chocolate gelt, a dreidel and maybe a coin. And that was it. But in raising her own children, mom used to say – jokingly, I think – that we kids were entitled to one major Hanukkah gift each year…on Christmas day!
Mom couldn't stand the idea that all of our non-Jewish friends were about to receive magnificent windfalls of toys, while we got nothing. Indeed, she reasoned, it would be hard to imagine a better way to make a small child resentful of his or her Jewishness.
Therein lies the short answer to your question: The "tradition" of giving presents during Chanukah was provoked by the long shadow that Christmas casts over Jewish homes. And nowhere is this shadow longer and darker than in America, where holiday gift-giving is a national obsession. Historians suggest that the consumerist side of the holiday began to develop in the mid-nineteenth century, and it's possible that Chanukah gift-giving began about the same time.
Of course, like all things Jewish, the long answer is not so simple. For the tradition of giving gelt, or money, is apparently an older practice whose origins are unclear. An excellent article by Natasha Rosenstock on myjewishlearning.com cites scholar Eliezer Segal, who has turned up sources mentioning that European Torah students used to give gelt to their teachers. Segal suggests that this practice was perhaps inspired by semantic and etymological connections between the Hebrew word "Chanukah" (dedication) and the Hebrew word chinnukh (education).
Doubtless, the practice arose because teachers were not allowed to receive money for teaching Torah. Evidently, some students and communities began giving money as a gift at Chanukah time. And very likely, some young students began to receive money as well – thus creating a custom of giving money to children.
But, says Rosenstock, today's brand of Chanukah gift-giving is rooted in the 1950s, when Jewish leaders were determined that post-Holocaust Jewish children should be happy to be Jewish at holiday-time, rather than miserable, resentful and jealous of their friends.
Increasingly, however, many Jewish parents are not comfortable showering their children with gifts. Some prefer to follow the older custom of giving gelt. They give a dollar the first night, two the second night and so on. This adds up to $36 – and happily, the number 36 is "double chai" (18 is the numerical equivalent of chai, the word for "life" in Hebrew). You might encourage your children to give some of that money to tzedakah ("righteous giving" from the Hebrew root tzedek, meaning "justice") and then take your child shopping to choose gifts with the rest of the money, thereby making them aware of how much things cost.
From a Jewish perspective, charitable donations are by far the best Chanukah gifts to give to other family and friends. Be sure to send cards (perhaps made by your children) with information about the organization, so recipients will know that your gift was thoughtful and made with them in mind.
Rabbi Alison Adler is the rabbi at Temple B'nai Abraham, a Conservative synagogue in Beverly.

wikiHow to Install Custom Firmware
Installing custom firmware on a router can significantly improve the performance of the device. Once an open-source flash update has been installed, the router's performance will more closely match that of more expensive models in terms of wireless signal strength and bandwidth allocation control. This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to download and install custom firmware that will enhance the functionality of most router models.
1Record the router's model and version number. These numbers are usually located near the manufacturer's logo, underneath or in back of the router. Write down the model and version information for future use.
2Obtain the router's IP address and default gateway for your computer system.
- Determine the IP address and default gateway for a PC. From the Start menu, type "cmd" into the search field to bring up the command screen. Then type "ipconfig/all" to access the necessary IP configuration information. Write down the IP address and default gateway information for use in accessing the web interface for your device.
- Determine the router's default gateway and IP address for a Mac. Access the system preferences option by clicking the Apple icon on the menu bar. From the Network menu, select the "Internet & Wireless" option. The router's IP address and default gateway will appear among the list of network information.
3Locate a website hosting open source firmware file downloads. There are a number of sites where open source flash updates can be downloaded. Perform an Internet search for "open source firmware download" to obtain a list of websites providing this free service.
4Locate the router model and download the open source update. Locate the router model of the device you wish to upgrade among the list of supported devices in the router category. Typically, detailed information regarding each supported device will be included in the list, along with a link to the file containing the desired custom flash update. Confirm that the file is the correct update for your device and click the link provided to begin the download process.
5Access the router interface. Open the router's web interface by entering either the IP address or the default gateway assigned to the router, depending on the model and manufacturer of the device. The router's web interface will open in the default web browser.
6Install the open source firmware upgrade. Locate the upgrade firmware feature, which is often listed under administration or advanced settings. Once the firmware update feature has been located, you will be prompted to select the file from a location on your computer. Click the Browse button and highlight the downloaded update file. Follow the instructions for completing the firmware update. The firmware upgrade is complete.

Britain's biggest power generator falling under the control of America's largest quoted electricity utility might still seem improbable. But it would be a logical continuation of the consolidation that has seen the electricity industry being carved up between a small number of large players in the last year.
If the respective takeovers of Southern Electric (no relation) and Midlands Electricity by National Power and PowerGen go ahead, only four of the 12 regional electricity companies that were sold off in 1990 will still be independent.
Moreover, the industry will be dominated by a handful of large, well- capitalised groups generating, distributing and supplying electricity.
In addition to the enlarged National Power and PowerGen, there will be Scottish Power, which owns Manweb, the distributor for Merseyside and North Wales, and Hanson, which owns Eastern Electricity and could emerge with 10 per cent of Britain's power stations if it succeeds in buying plants from the two big generators.
When the nuclear power generator British Energy is sold in July, the expectation is that it too will bid for a REC, if there are any left to snap up.
This is a structure that the Government could have adopted when it dismantled and sold off the Central Electricity Generating Board in 1990. Instead, it chose to break the link between generation and supply by floating the 12 Recs as separate companies.
At the time there was widespread criticism of the structure adopted by ministers and the price the industry fetched. That has merely grown as executive directors have been rewarded with massive share option bonanzas and customers have become poor cousins to shareholders heaped with special dividends and other incentives.
There is every indication that ministers are content to see the emergence of a few giant integrated utilities, believing it to be a better guarantor of consumer choice and lower prices as the domestic electricity industry prepares for full competition in two years.
From April 1998 the country's 22 million domestic electricity customers will, in theory, be able to switch off from their local REC and shop around for supplies. The increasing level of competition in generation and the opening up of the franchise market is what has propelled the generators to snap up suppliers.
The prospect of a full-blown merger between Southern Company and National Power would add an extra dimension. It would also open up the prospect of PowerGen being acquired by an overseas utility.
At least three US electricity groups, Pacificorp, Houston Industries and Mission Power, have eyed the UK scene but are yet to make a move.
PowerGen insiders say that they cannot imagine both our premier generating companies being snapped up by Americans. But that may be a forlorn belief. The last 12 months have proved that almost anything is possible.

Indie and Experimental Games Round-up
The Internet is a big place. Like, really big. Think of the biggest
Douglas Adams quote
you can, then times it by a billion-million and you still aren't even close. You may think it takes a long time to find your MP3 folder, but that's just peanuts to the Internet.
There's a lot of good stuff out there though – a lot of very fun games that don't always get the level of respect they deserve. Games that could be as good as something you'd actually pay for, but get kind of lost in the shuffle because the developer doesn't have a multi-million dollar advertising budget.
we've got kind of a soft-spot for that – the type of developer who's stuck in the small time at the moment, but has the potential to make it big. Maybe it's because we were like that once: a for-fun modding site, since exploded into this juggernaut of awesome. Thus, we've developed this little round-up of the best and brightest.
You should have a look at some of these games if you've got the time. They're good – and we should know, we've been playing them for weeks now and it's time we shared them around.
Off-Road Velociraptor Safari
Totally Free!
Play it now!
Let's start off with the quirkiest sounding game in the bunch then.
Off-road Velociraptor Safari
sounds like the type science fiction adventure game that Harlan Ellison might have designed if he dropped a load of crystal meth and spent too much time hanging around with Jack Kerouac. Or something...
With such an eye-catching title then, it's remarkable that the game is both exactly what you would and wouldn't expect it to be.
Played in a browser,
Off-road Velociraptor Safari
is exactly what it says on the tin. Set in the future (we think), players are given an all-terrain vehicle and a huge canyon to play in. Velociraptors roam the area, but thankfully you can plough through them with your jeep for points, racking up multipliers and hitting them with a huge ball-and-chain tailing behind your four-wheeled behemoth.
The aim of the game is simply to accumulate as many points possible in the allotted five minutes, using ramps to perform stunts and picking up various bonus items along the way. There probably isn't a huge amount of longevity in the game for serious players, but as a quick game to dip in and out of subtly when the boss isn't looking,
Off-Road Velociraptor Safari
is unmatched. On the down side though, Tim's probably just figured out what I've been up to these last few days when I should have been working...
The Blob
Totally Free!
Play it now!
The Blob
is possibly one of the most joyful games we've played in recent times, rivalling
Beautiful Katamari
in terms of sheer childish innocence and appeal – while also being a logical extension of its gameplay.
Just as with
Off-Road Velociraptor Safari
, the story isn't really important, but if you must know I think it's something to do with aliens. All you really need to know though is that the game is colourful, played entirely with the mouse and totally free. Developed by a team of about nine Dutch students, the game casts players as The Blob – a transparent roly-poly creature in the world's dullest city, but tasked with going all Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen on the place.
By rolling over different coloured people you absorb their mass and tone, taking on a different colour to literally paint the town with. There's stuff to collect, evil INKT agents to look out for—rolling over them will colour you black, forcing you suffer some shrinkage by dipping in the stream and getting clean—and landmarks to colour too as you continue a quest to bring some vibrancy to the town.
On top of this is a twist on the
mechanic – the more people you absorb, the bigger you get, but the more you roll around and the more you paint the town, the smaller you get. It sounds weird, but it works fantastically and adds a sense of urgency and pace to what is actually a very lackadaisical and laid back game.

Despite its title, Tanganyika was largely filmed in the wilds of Universal City. Set in 1900, the film stars Van Heflin as safari guide John Gale, hired to launch a manhunt for the murderous Abel McCracken (Jeff Morrow). Deep in the territory controlled by the Nukumbi tribe, McCracken has been using the natives for his own reign of terror agains the British settlers of Tanganyika. Along for the chase are McCracken's honest brother Dan (Howard Duff), schoolmarm Peggy (Ruth Roman), and two precocious kids...more

Greg said: The Blues--one of America's best creations.
Can't disagree with that.
Greg said:Hendrix died much too young.
Can't disagree with that since he never matured enough to learn how to actually play the blues. lol

I know something about music, Mikeb. And what I know is that Van Halen playing a country song does not make them country anymore than a polka band playing Van Halen makes them a rock band.

Kodak EasyShare P712
Kodak EasyShare P712 :
The new Kodak EasyShare P712 is setting a new performance benchmark for the consumer "superzoom" category. Its precision auto-focus system with best-in-class click-to-capture rate, literally faster than the blink of an eye, at less than 1/10th of a second (0.07 seconds), helps photographers get the exact shots they want, whether action on a sports field or children on the playground. Additional features of the Kodak P712 include PASM, custom and extensive preset scene modes; multiple burst modes for action shooting; three-shot in-camera panorama stitching; a live histogram; 25 selectable AF points; custom white balance with selectable compensation; highlight/shadow clipping displays; and RAW/TIFF/JPEG support.
Kodak P712 camera - 7 Megapixels
"When second and third-time digital camera buyers walk into stores this year, they're searching for models with better performance and more control than point-and-shoots, without sacrificing ease of use. They want pictures that look phenomenal straight out of the camera," said Carolyn Walsh, Product Sales Director Digital, Eastman Kodak Company. "Our new Kodak P712 camera is specifically designed for these photographers, helping them take stunning pictures that they'll want to share widely with friends and family."
Kodak EasyShare P712 digital camera - Optical image stabilizer
The Kodak EasyShare P712 features a 12X (36 - 432 mm equiv.), image-stabilised, f2.8 – f/3.7, Schneider Kreuznach Variogon lens that delivers exquisite detail and sharpness. Its 7.1 Megapixel sensor is paired with legendary Kodak Color Science image processing for spectacular, highly accurate colour - shot after shot. Optical image stabilisation provides a two-stop advantage over non-image stabilised systems for better capturing subjects in low light for both stills and video. It also minimises handheld camera shake at longer focal lengths, which is ideal while photographing sporting events and during everyday picture taking when carrying a stabilising device is impractical.
Kodak P712 megazoom camera - LCD and Video
The Kodak EasyShare P712 camera's large 2.5 inch, high-resolution LCD and electronic viewfinder simplify framing, reviewing and sharing pictures. Photographers can select pictures for e-mailing or printing with a touch of the exclusive Share button, and even mark them as favourites for automatic uploading to the Kodak EasyShare Gallery in conjunction with included Kodak EasyShare Software version 6. TV-quality, 30 frames-per-second VGA video with sound (MPEG4) is always available on the Kodak P712 camera with the turn of a dial. Convenient on-camera video editing includes functions such as split, cut, merge and trim, plus the ability to create single-frame or multi-frame "storyboard" still pictures.
Kodak P20 Flash - Optional accessory
The hot shoe flash connector of the Kodak P712 and optional Kodak P20 zoom flash (with a suggested retail price of £99.99) provides enhanced, more flexible lighting control, while the included rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers long-lasting power for more picture taking opportunities.
Kodak EasyShare P712 camera - Availability and Price
As with all EasyShare cameras, the Kodak P712 model is compatible with Kodak EasyShare snapshot printers and camera docks, the IMAGELINK print system, and PictBridge technology for direct photo output without a computer. The Kodak EasyShare P712 camera will be available in the UK from June 2006, with a suggested retail price of £349.99.
About Kodak
With the slogan "you press the button, we do the rest," George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers in 1888. In so doing, he made a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone. Since that time, the Eastman Kodak Company has led the way with an abundance of new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. In fact, today's Kodak is known not only for photography, but also for images used in a variety of leisure, medical, business, entertainment and scientific applications. Its reach increasingly involves the use of technology to combine images and information creating the potential to profoundly change how people and businesses communicate.

Grats to the Saints!
Great game by your boys tonight! When Payton called that run on 4th and goal, I thought the game was over, but your team put together a DOMINANT 2nd half.
Way to get the Lombardi back to the NFC! |
Re: Grats to the Saints!
It is so quiet here.
I guess because everybody is still in disbelief, out in the French Quarters, sleeping. I am stuck in Texas this year. Last year I was in Metairie. God, Iwish Icould be in N.O. for tomorrow. You fellow citizens there witnessing new life, new birth of a city with Landrieu, and I voted for him by:p absentee ballot, and the Saints, win, enjoy. This is truely history. A new city is coming. |

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. Psalms 145:7
Mother has been in the Nursing Home now for almost a year...This collage is of some of her belongings that were sold at a rummage sale in the apartment where she moved from.
The picture on the top right that shows the wallpaper is in her bedroom at the nursing home...The little plaque "Jesus Never Fails" Mom painted several years ago and I am happy she was able to take that memory with her to the nursing home. I gave her the little musical doll in 1999 which plays the song "In the Good Old Summer Time." Mother had been ill during that time period and had a short stay in the hospital...I bought the little doll in the hospital gift shop and took care of Mom for 6 weeks until she recovered.
Mother will be 102 years old on July 18th...she has been diagnosed as having dementia, which saddens me, but I have many good memories of her ...She was a very talented articulate and intelligent woman in her day. She was an artist, a musician, she wrote poetry, she gave piano lessons in her home for several years, and she was a church organist for 75 years..She also played for funerals and weddings...She was able to take her piano with her to the Nursing Home where she plays for the residents and she still remembers the notes.

Wonderful example of the many changes which transpire when a move takes place. Your collage is very lovely and touching, Andrea. It is very representative of your mother's life........so many beautiful memories here. (My mother is also in a nursing home in Ohio, and has had Alzheimer's Disease for 14 years. I can easily relate to your situation.) Very good photo for this theme!!!

Lovely collage of your mother's belongings that hold such dear memories for you.
Andrea Petersen said (11 Jul 2011):
Thank you everyone for your kind words...Yes, Leslie it is difficult as we have these wonderful memories but we know things can't be the same as they were..I called my mother tonight and she was in bed but she thought it was morning and time to eat breakfast..I finally convinced her it was night time and then she decided she needed rest rather than to talk on the phone. Our conversation was very brief as it is getting harder for her to converse.
