Life with Dad

Caring for someone with dementia, you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Location: Texas

This blog is a reflection on being a member of the "sandwich generation". We are those sandwiched between aging parents who need care and/or help and their own children. After an extensive remodel of our house, we moved my parents in with us. Dad has Alzheimer’s, which adds complications to the situation.

News Flash

According to Dad, the last of the Romanovs now lives in Houston. In the continuing saga of Dad's fascination with the Romanovs, he created a new chapter:


The son of the last of the Romanovs was born in England. As an adult, he moved to New York City. There, he aquired a lot of land and got very rich. However, New York has a large inheritance tax, so he sold his land in New York City and bought land in downtown Houston. He chose Houston because Texas doesn't have any inheritance tax. The land in Houston became very valuable. He sold most of the land in downtown Houston and became very rich.


Somehow the story got muddy here and I couldn't follow it. Dad says he is the grandson of the son of the last of the Romanovs. However, something happened to all the money he made because he is now very poor. (See July 20 about being rich and poor)
