She does know - but it doesn't come back into her consciousness - yet she's 100% with it at times - I still get ticked off as a small child (not often) and almost always laugh out loud at the presumption .. like I need to look after my hands better (Janice's are in better shape than mine!), or how did I know she'd had a stroke - well Mum I've been with you.<br /><br />It is weird .. but to have a brain that still functions 88+ years on and I never know what's coming next makes it very tolerable, interesting and extremely meaningful.<br /><br />Many thanks for your thoughts - <br />Hilary Melton-Butcher<br />Positive Letters Inspirational StoriesHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-52511368154200481052009-08-16T08:26:05.571+01:002009-08-16T08:26:05.571+01:00Hi Jocelyn - thanks for visiting .. good to see yo...Hi Jocelyn - thanks for visiting .. good to see you here. It is somewhat tricky to think about how they function, move about, create their societies etc. <br /><br />I remember looking after some friends' house in SA .. and coming in one day to find a trail of ants from outside into their larder, up the wall on to the shelf with the honey! Staggering and a pain - as I had to clear it up!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by - good to see you here<br />Hilary Melton-Butcher<br />Positive Letters Inspirational StoriesHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-47954265576157547812009-08-16T06:11:25.353+01:002009-08-16T06:11:25.353+01:00Interesting fact about ants :-) I've always be...Interesting fact about ants :-) I've always been fascinated with these creatures. I couldn't imagine how when they move about,they can cover such long distances in such a short period of time.

They are small as far as ants species go but they do spread very quickly.<br /><br />You don't have to be concerned with bites as much as they go into the house searching for food. They have probably been spread by humans across the globe in food goods or on ships.<br /><br />Best Regards<br /><br />Pete Baca<br />The Car Enthusiast OnlinePeter Bacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269735128875798498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-54771012813184628432009-08-16T00:38:07.756+01:002009-08-16T00:38:07.756+01:00Hi Hillary,
