Update

Sorry for not replying to comments.  I've been out of town.  My sis and I took my Mom down to the coast for a couple of days where we worked on my Sis's mother-in-law's (beach) home so it can go up for rent.   (Her widowed {step}M.I.L. has moved back to Sweden where both of her sons live and then left the home to her two stepsons, one being my brother-in-law).

We managed to miss the worst weather at home and the worst weather at the beach. Timing.

And it was good to distract mother with something active to do.  We didn't have TV or internet in the interim, however.

Working on the house did exhaust the dogs, so cute pic of Zoe and my sister's dog passed out on the {step}mother-in-law's sofa.
