I am an only child so I envy the fact that you have anyone who can help. I would think getting 4 people on the same track might be hard though. My little grandson's hair was getting quite long too. His dad was just holding him down to get it out of his eyes. He wouldn't go to the barber without a commotion. Last week while staying with us for the new baby to be born, my husband talked him into a barber visit. He was so cute and his parents were pleased. We will see if he is willing to go again:)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-5693304732316586062021-07-27T22:27:38.128+01:002021-07-27T22:27:38.128+01:00I'm glad you continue to blog, Maggie as I alw...I'm glad you continue to blog, Maggie as I always enjoy reading about your life and family, creations, and garden :) Blogging does take longer (especially when you procrastinate like I do and the post grows way too long!), but I love having a concrete record of things and have often referred to my blog for dates, recipes, etc. <br /><br />Oh, it's so hard when our loved ones start needing more help. It sounds like you are all nearby which is wonderful. Best of luck to you ♥Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-81376266312806971952021-07-25T23:52:43.753+01:002021-07-25T23:52:43.753+01:00I always enjoy your posts.

I left social media several years ago, and I have missed the "quieter" blogging days before social media became dominant. I hope the veteran bloggers (and new ones like me) will slow down, post when they want, and take the breathers we all need when Life gets busy. Sending good thoughts for you and your sibs and mother--we have been through that here, and it takes time, tact, and patience to get a new rhythm. Go easy on yourself. P.S. Your blog is lovely, no matter when you post.CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914275251344470580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-87651405719888732022021-07-24T14:04:37.125+01:002021-07-24T14:04:37.125+01:00Oh I am sorry to hear about your Mum, Maggie.

I prefer blogging, you can add detail and the layout is much better for reading. IG for me is a way to keep in touch with other grandchild who live miles away, it's the same on facebook, though I rarely post on there.Poppypatchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749159567150084975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-86752592660450537962021-07-24T10:41:57.910+01:002021-07-24T10:41:57.910+01:00There comes a certain age when things get tough.

It's so hard as our parents age, they want to hang on to their independence even when it becomes apparent that they can no longer care for themselves and it can certainly cause problems in families when some take on more of the caring role than others. I do hope the rota you've drawn up works for everyone concerned. Lovely to see the children enjoying themselves in the sunshine. Hasn't it been warm, I'm glad to get a bit of a breather now that it's cooled down a little though I hear that the sun's due back again in August for another heatwave, we'll see.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-62909413438392719852021-07-24T08:47:00.715+01:002021-07-24T08:47:00.715+01:00What happy pictures on your post of your little on...What happy pictures on your post of your little ones .<br />We now have rain here in Devon after really hot weather .<br />Sorry to hear about your mom ,it's always so sad to see them losing interest in things .

I've had a terrible time with blogging the past year or so, as well. There are really only so many times you can post "got up, had breakfast, went to gym, came home, read a novel" before you just stop. if I did more stitching and gardening I'd have more to post about. Hmm...guess I'll have to do something about that!<br /> I enjoy your posts very much, especially when you've got birds and/or plants in them.

Lovely photos, by the way! By 'IG' I assume you mean Instagram? I have been advised for ages to get on this, and this week set myself the task of trying to learn a bit about it. I have always viewed it as a platform for people with a limited attention span but, having looked at it, the quality of some of the material is absolutely stunning. I shall persevere!Mike@Bit About Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741370413282813229noreply@blogger.com
