Ted The Shed, Chapter 31 - A Care Home Christmas

We are all (except Dg MS) invited to spend Christmas Day at the care home. We accept, and are served a very meaty lunch. Mr MS brings Dad in his tools as a Christmas treat, disguised in a wine bag. I apply to the Council for joint tenancy of the plot, and am both pleased and irritated by their reply. Dad continues to infuriate the Care Home Manager with his efforts at DIY.

Thanks so much, Mandy, for reading such an entertaining story! And it’s your very own!! 🙏🏻😊📖❤️

👏👍😀Another enjoyable chapter read by the Fabulous Mandy Sutter! I especially enjoyed hearing about the details and feelings on your Christmas walk, researching and writing the allotment office and making tea.

Dad, with his constant need to make repairs, reminds me of an orchestral conductor who, no doubt, continued to wave the baton during their sleep. A ritual so enamored and ingrained that it is simply a part of their being. What a beautiful and moving chapter, Mandy. It is familiar, having been through a similar last stage with my mom. Thanks again for sharing your story(s). 🙏❤️

So many emotions going on each getting attended to then things seem to come together till they fall apart again life continues on. I see all the strength in you from your dad and MrMS is the icing on the cake arriving with solutions in the nick of time. Oh what a wonderful family ❤️I love the fact”Dad” never gave up his desire to fix or make better anything he saw in need of help. A most beautiful story of life , in my opinion. Thank you for sharing. Dog MS is great too🐕🕊️🩷

Aww, Mr MS to the rescue with the tools… thanks again for this share, Mandy ❤️🙏🏼
