Liveable

I think these two would have liked each other--

Winston Churchill said, "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

Erma Bombeck said, "If you can laugh at it, you can live with it."

Today the laughable word is "liveable"--that was Tom's response when I asked how the saliva was. We both laughed and said OK.

We play a game each meal time. I ask him what he wants and he comes up with some old favorite. Today when he couldn't get the words I brought out one of those little Doodle things--it worked great--amazing how much one word can convey. Today lunch was a coldcut sandwich from Subway--what a compliment for Subway when he could have had anything in the world he wanted. The other thing that he does is always say, "Takk for mat" when I feed him. That's an old family tradition--it means, "thank you for the food" in Swedish.

  1. That is very cool. One of the first things I learned from Marita when we got serious was to say "Tak Ver Matten" (hope I got the spelling right!) which is the the Norwegian version of the same thing. That is a standard phrase in our house!
