We visited Harvey at the nursing home today. It was the best visit we have had in a long time. He remembered that Brian had arranged for French fries to be delivered to him yesterday. He said he shared them with his nurse. He was telling us that they ‘came in through the window,’ but that was minor compared to the pleasure he experienced. He also told us our visits were the high point of his day. We were really happy that we could brighten his day a bit.

This is my latest painted sketch. When I finish with my blog posts for the day, I plan to try to do some sketching.

I decided to bring my family into my condo more by putting their pictures up around the mirror in my bedroom. The pictures had been in an envelope in a drawer, and I decided that this was a quality of life thing for me, something that would make me smile every day. It’s not ‘pretty,’ and “House Beautiful” would probably not approve of the decoration idea, but it’s MY condo and I love it! 😁

Brian will bring dinner to my place this evening. After we eat, we’ll back up the data on my phone and my computer and then chat – the best part of my day.
Today at the chocolate place I broke Brian up by sneakily giving him back an empty gum packet after we finished our chocolate. I don’t manage to fool him very often, but this is an ongoing thing between us. Today I was successful, and snorted when I saw the look on his face. He threw the little gum packet at me in disgust while I simply lost it. The ladies at the counter had no idea what was going on, but were smiling just because I was laughing so hard.
Today while we were walking, Brian teased me unmercifully about ‘falling over things that weren’t there’ on the sidewalks. I told him huffily that they had a conspiracy going on to trip me on the only spots on the sidewalk that were smooth…
This is the stuff that makes me rich. The fact that Brian and I can enjoy each other every day now is a gift beyond price.

I loved reading your post. Sounds like a really good day.
I like the idea you have done with your photos around the mirror. I think it is a good idea.
Your latest painting. Are you going to have that up somewhere? I would.
I love your teasing of the gum packet. It reminds me of a trick I did with my mum once when I had a few chocolates. I went to share some. But she picked up one of my empty wrappers that I carefully shaped back into it’s chocolate shape by putting a few empty wrappers inside. Naturally, she was reluctant to accept another offering in case I did it again. But I reassured her I had only done it that time.

I am glad you had such a good visit with your Harvey. It was much needed and appreciated, I am sure.
Your bird picture was so pretty.
It sounds as if your son enjoys his time with you as much as you enjoy your time with him. I am happy for you.
The pictures around the mirror look very pretty and comforting to see, I would think, and it is your place to do and decorate as you please. The more you do and add makes it feel even more like home. Just enjoy. (Donna)

Thank you, Sweet Donna. Yesterday with Harvey was a beautiful gift – one I will treasure. Brian and I are having the best time. It’s wonderful to spend time together.
Thanks for your caring note.

Oh! I sooo hear you about Harvey’s fries flying in through the window… and that was sweet that he shared them with his nurse. (I actually had an image going on about that in my head days ago but didn’t want to say/write it.) I get fleeting images from time to time about people. I hesitate to speak/write them because they aren’t always good! Anyway, yes, I LOVE that you can now SEE your family everyday (from photos) at your bedroom mirror! Superb! (I do that too, in my spa room upstairs) Keeping them close in our minds and hearts brighten our spirit, I think.

Putting up the pictures around the mirror is like putting the last piece in the jigsaw puzzle. Something inside me feels ‘complete’ now.
