Sundown Syndrome Published

I'm so excited to announce that I am finally a published author. While I have numerous fictional short stories on various sites around the web, Sundown Syndrome is my first book on Amazon.com. Sundown Syndrome was written as a result of my stint as a caregiver to my elderly father and my sister's eight years as a caregiver to our mother.

We noticed for a period of time that Mom would get agitated late in the day and several times left the house as if she were searching for something or someone. Both of these behaviors are associated with Sundown Syndrome that is closely tied to dementia. Mom had TIA dementia and Dad has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

This book was written so that others who are caring for their family aging parents or are at least seeing these symptoms will understand what is happening. As of this post, Sundown Syndrome is only available on Amazon.com. There are further books in the Caring for Aging Parents series coming very soon.

You can also join us at my website Elder Care Cafe for further information about caring for the elderly. We welcome your comments and questions regarding our book(s) and caring for aging parents. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sassy is Savvy on Squidoo

Sassy is resting after a hard day and night's work.


Sassy joined Squidoo yesterday with two lens - one going green and the other savvy writing. More to come, with the next one likely to encourage baking from scratch.

Squidoo is fun and one of those, gosh I wish I had done this sooner, thoughts kept occurring during the lens building.

It will be fun to see how God, and of course Sassy, puts all of this together. We, all of us - God, Sassy, Savvy, and I - have worked hard and will continue to work hard in building our web empire.

So many passwords and websites are causing Sassy, and Savvy, to remember they are in their 60's after all. Who says you can't teach an old senior new tricks?

And what are you in the process of learning? What makes you stay up well past midnight and up again at 4 or 5 a.m. just cuz your excited? Anything? Let me know in the comments below. Have a great and productive day!!!!!

Swinging Single Seniors

Just because someone has passed that magic age, whether it is 50, 60, or beyond, does not mean they are ready to sit by the fire with a good book, attend senior citizen lunches, and play bingo all afternoon. And, God forbid, they better be home by dark!

A recent article I wrote provides tips for the active single adult of the new millennium. Read the article here...
