Thanksgiving leftovers and a little sketching was how we ended our day yesterday. Sister gave the maple-pecan phyllo pie her nod of approval.
Today we explored more of the common areas at Angie's place. We have found what we believe to be the most comfortable chairs in the place. Pillows provided.
There was also a lovely patio area protected from the wind with abundant sunshine to ensure our vitamin D levels are in the therapeutic range. Angie comandeered the Jackie O. sunglasses and I am not sure she is planning to give them back.
Meanwhile Chris was at home smoking a brisket for supper and we have more art therapy planned for tonight.
Counting. My. Blessings.
Carol, my own sweet mom passed almost 3 years ago (seems like yesterday).
Reading about Angie brings back memories of placing my mom in an assisted living facility when it became necessary; so hard for her to leave her home of almost 50 years. No one gives you lessons on how to handle this time in our (and their) lives, so we do the best we can. It's wonderful how you and your siblings have rallied around your mom, much as mine did for my mom. I miss her so much. Give your mom a kiss on the cheek for me. XOXO

I was just thinking how lovely Mary Ann looked. First the sunglasses went, then the scarf.
It's wonderful to see your mother looking so happy and relaxed. Shows what loving support from daughters does for a mom!
