This is my mother Joan Barbara. Music therapy works.
This is Day 1195 for my wife and I as her primary caregivers. My wife is the one who found this singing doll at a Goodwill store in Ohio. She is also the one who recorded this video. My wife rocks.
We have had some difficult times with her. Still this is one of the better moments.

Nordstrom has made news lately. Some people are boycotting it. Truthfully it is too rich for my blood. I do my clothes shopping at Marshalls and Goodwill. I read the blog post below which makes me want to go back sooner than I need to.
Original Blog Post at http://www.alz.org/marshalls.asp
Marshalls, one of the nation’s leading off-price retailers, joins the Association for the fifth consecutive year in the fight to end Alzheimer’s. Shoppers who visit Marshalls stores nationwide from March 5 — 18 have the opportunity to donate to the Alzheimer’s Association at checkout.
The Association appreciates the continued support from Marshalls. The campaign is part of a larger commitment by the organization which has raised awareness and funds to support our vision for a world without Alzheimer's Disease® since 2011.
*From March 5 to March 18, 2017, 100% of donations made at checkout will go to the Alzheimer’s Association.
