Yes, I noticed that. DH was talking about checking a bag.
Elin, your nails are very pretty! I don't keep my fingers manicured at all, and I only keep my toes done in the summer. If I thought I could go get a cheap-o $15 manicure and have it still look good by Thursday I would do it.
Vicki, well, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe get on the computer and go through the different opportunities in your mom's area to see if there might be something unique she would be interested in. With such vast choices (elderly, homeless, children, pets, pets who are elderly and homeless) there might be something out there for her that you just haven't thought of. Or maybe she just needs to be left to sort it out on her own.
