Today I went thru the drive thru to get something to drink. the young man said, ” hi how are you?” I thought to myself, should I say it or not? Shall I shock the pants off of him. You know this is the generic response we get in public all the time.
So I said, [...]

We have a new person in our group that belches quite loudly. I am not sure but he does not seem to control his “air”. WE are all just pleased it comes out of his mouth instead of another area! Yesterdays memory suggestion was; tell me about the first car you drove when you were a [...]
Dancing summer clouds – the memory
Posted in health & life, june's postings, tagged memories on June 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Don’t forget to look up sometimes as the clouds can be really fab. As an artist it is hard to honestly completely duplicate them without doing it on site or with a photo. They are not just white! I was thinking about how many times we get so caught up in life that we do forget [...]
Best advice of the week

I meet new friends where ever I go. In lines, shopping, waiting at appointments, painting in a park. I don’t know if I have the “face” for it or not. But I am always surprised how others spill their guts to me. They must feel safe with me. Anyhow, this past week while traveling the [...]

But I did enjoy seeing the cowboy wranglers out on Saturday while I drank my Latte and read in the big town square.

I viewed the HBO Alz. Project recently. I have only a few words to say about this project. It was more like the ” crying project”. I did get the Kleenex out and I thought I was much stronger than that. I rarely leak anymore when I see my sis. I used to leak like [...]

I just finished ” Night” by E. Wiesel. I finished it in one reading. It contains only 120 pages. He is a Nobel Peace Pize Winner and international author of fiction and non-fiction. He earned every word of it. His account of his entire family and himself as a teen taken from his home in 1944 to the awful Auschwitz Concentration Camp with all [...]

I have never seen so many corn row braids in your hair before. I hope that they are not to tight and hurt your scalp. You rested peacefully and I guess your caregiver gave you the new do! You always hated it when your bangs weren’t perfect. I keep sitting by your side, in between [...]
