Yes we are fine but did have a front row view of the Pacific Palisades fire and were grateful to see that under control quickly.

She is so fortunate to have healed up and is now very mobile and gets about with just using a cane. The loss of memory is actually a bit of a blessing as she lives very much in the present and can be happy without remembering dad too much. You are most thoughtful Chloe and your sister is very lucky to have you.Claudia Bughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893132997720328084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-10661428233495647192019-05-25T02:49:12.099-07:002019-05-25T02:49:12.099-07:00Thank you for the scones tip.

I checked an earlier blog post of yours, in case I forgot something, but it only mentioned the pelvic fracture. I am glad that you have discovered a substance - CocoVia - to help her. And also glad you have a sister. I rely on mine in good times and challenging ones.

I do miss the old times when there was a fun and vibrant knit blogging community of which you were a wonderful part. I know you have had more than your share of heartache with the passing of your mother and father. I appreciate your wisdom to focus on the good times and let go of the sorrow.<br /><br />I hope you try and enjoy the scones Renee ~ plum jam sounds lovely so I'll have to find some myself. Be well and take care of yourself.

You reminded me o...So nice to hear from you Chloe! You reminded me of an expression my mother often uses "a good childhood lasts a lifetime." So smart to remember your education and other blessings you have received in this life. As you say everyone's life goes upside down at times. <br /><br />My mother is in the late early to beginning middle stages of Alzheimers and some days are better than others. She was not able to tolerate any conventional medication but we have found that CocoaVia (by product of Chocolate) has been very helpful for both her cognitive function and mood elevation (a side effect a few experience). There is a study that found a remarkable number of participants had a good response to this over the counter supplement. <br /><br />As far as the scones I have a quick tip - measure and combine both the dry and wet ingredients in the morning and just leave them separate on the counter until later in the day. About an hour before you want your scones simply combine the wet and dry ingredients mix up the dough and stamp out the scones, preheat the oven and you are good to go.

Only you can provoke a curiosity in me to try these delicious British scones since I am not much of a baker. In my old home I knew exactly where to find the Red Mill flour. Where we live now, it may be a bit of a hunt:-). You are very lucky to have had such a wonderful father. Life does change. I go back to my wonderful education to remind myself of the important things to help bring comfort out of dismay when my world gets turned upside down. Thank goodness there is Knitting. I hope modern medicine is helping your mother and that she is improving, or at least comfortable.

Thanks for the tip of using heavy cream - I remember a recipe for blueberry scones that used heavy cream and they were out of this world so I bet it would make fabulous scones!

Yours look so good. <br /><br />Just want to say I’m so sorry for your loss, and your mom’s declining health must make it so much harder. I lost my dad almost 30 years ago and still miss him so much. Your dad sounded like a wonderful person.

However, I don’t put jam on my scones, so maybe its a balance thing. Thanks for the blog post!Wendynoreply@blogger.com
