GRANPA HAD AN EYE FOR GARDENING AS WELL AS COOKING-LOVE MY HOSTAS

 Adolph gardened sometimes. He had a small veggie garden after his mother passed away.

But he did like to rearrange my flowers and other plants.

One year he transplanted a ton of hostas everywhere.

Initially I did not like to have them in every bare spot.

Then over the years and as a tribute to him, the ring of hostas in the front has become one of my favourite items.

A closeup of some of them.

See how pretty it makes one area of my front lawn. Even can see my granite rocks that I wish someone would buy.

It gives me such a wonderful memory of Granpa!!

50 YEARS SINCE JOE DIED FROM ALS-HOPE FOR THIS CONDITION IS HERE

 August 4, 1974 Adolph's father and my father-in-law died after a 7 year run from ALS-Lou Gherig disease.

My first experience with the Di Mambro family and Joe was already experiencing the early symptoms.

There has been no new treatments or cure for AL.

Until recently, when the Western News newsletter wrote about Dr. Michael Strong and his team at the University of Western Ontario that is researching and coming close to finding a cure and a way to deter the illness.

Always good to know after all these years that is hope for patients and families in the modern times.
