    Had a nice day out with my hubs and ended the day with a visit to see my brother in his care home.
    It was good to find him in a fairly responsive mood. He was cheering on a skier as he laid in his bed watching the Winter Olympics. He use to be very sporty back in days long gone by, one sport was skiing. Not that he could recall such memories sadly.
    The only bit that stabbed at my heart was when I kissed him goodbye and he smiled and look hard into my face and said ' who are you, do I know you'?
    I wanted to cry but just stroked his face telling that I was **......... his sister but as my hair is now long he might not recognise me ..so I piled it up on top of my head he but he shook his head and said nooooooo!
    Deep in his eyes through I 'thought ' I could see the mischievous glint that use to indicate he was having a joke with us.......hmmm was it there or was I clasping at straws for memoirs of bygone days.:shrug:
    It was a lovely visit though.....which is now a very rare description I can use. Love him sooo very much and as we all know the more you love someone the more pain you feel. :smt049

    Sorry for the delay in posting, but here's the finished product. It was cheaper than an asphalt drive. We'll see how long it lasts, but the less grass I have to cut, the better I like it. :D

    Thanks guys !! I have weed control figured into it @Zigs . They told me that they can spray a "hardener on it but that will come later.
    My Dog Rags doesn't think much of it. She wanted to poop on it as soon as it was installed !! :smt044
