My emergency care plan seems to be taking shape, my next door neighbour does have a key and does know where it is and will let me release his phone number if I need to. He says if I have an emergency and he is home he is willing to help.

One of my old friends down the road used to have a key too but she has moved so I need to decide on another neighbour to have one.

The boys say not to worry as they are usually in contactable distance but I would rather know there was a back-up plan as well. Better safe than sorry.

In discussing this with another friend he asked if I would be his emergency person if he has his grandson with health problems and has an emergency. I agreed, he is on his own, and an only child and the daughter and son-in-law occassionally ask for help and he takes his two grandsons for weekends. If you think you are stressed you ought to see him at the end of a week with them!!

We had dinner with our son and daughter-in-law and our dear Tori tonight. we don't go there for meals often so it was a lovely family time. There was thunder when I set out but it has all blown away and the sky if full of stars now.

If I stop worrying for a while the world can be a beautiful place.
