New GeriatricOT Blog

I am starting a new blog called GeriatricOT and the the address is GeriatricOTblogspot.com
I find that I frequently have information and ideas to share related to geriatrics and in particular alzheimer's disease and need a place to comment. I spend most of my blogging time on my HorseOT.blogspot.com blog and will continue to share the bulk of my pediatric information on that site and occasionally add to the RecyclingOT.blogspot.com site.

If you haven't yet joined the Horseot.blogspot.com as a follower, I highly encourage it because I enter a lot of information about low cost activities that can be used on and off the horse. I think that its a helpful site for occupational therapists whether or not they work in the specialty area of hippotherapy.

Laundry Clothes Pin Bag

My son inherited the recycling gene and came up with this clothes pin bag after noticing the old one falling apart.


Very clever if I don't say so myself!
