Irene Milne Bulloch
Born Jan 22, 1920 Died July 23, 2014
My mother lived to be 94 years old. She had Alzheimer’s the last five years of her life. I was her main caretaker during this period. She was in a rehab home two times after a short stay in the hospital for pneumonia and then a deep vein thrombosis. Mom was a very healthy person. She walked her whole life, before it became “fashionable”. She was very ahead of her time and a very classy, yet common woman. I made a slide show, depicting her life. I may add more to it.

Darn…I edited it (I finally was able to embed music that didn’t take the reader out of my blog) and then decided to Press This. It isn’t today’s assignment. I already did that. My today’s assignment is found under “Welcome to My World” with the post on Grandparents Sharing. I’ll find the URL and post it. Thanks for any feedback and I feel I did both assignments today, finally! Made a new post with an intended audience in mind and then, on another post…this one, learned how to embed music and keep the reader on my site. I’m very happy about this as it was one of my goals in taking this course!

Do you think the music being in the blog works okay?

I said “darn” because it looked like I spelled mother wrong but viewing the post, it looks fine. Weird!
