moments, lost and found
Andrea couldn't make it this week. Busy with the festival, I think.
Mary made some of her special potato salad for lunch. It went with ham, cranberry sauce and green peas. Cantaloupe appetizers.
What? I forgot the tomato. Arrrgh.
I thought brother Marion more at ease today. Mother had an occasional moment of clarity. And, many lost ones.
"It takes three cards, Granny. Threeee.."
About 3:00 pm, Mary and I took our guests home.From the shelter of the garage, I watched a light rain build. Ate my supper. Watched eight turkeys promenade through the trees of the front yard. Some ran, took off and flew high upon a branch to roost. They thought night had fallen.
I ignored the damp chill. Breathed in the clean air. That was enough.
65.2 °F, overcast.

I notice that the wild turkey in our area always stay under trees and not out in the open. I am guessing to try and avoid being eaten by a hawk.
I love those food plates. They make mine look pathetic. lol
Hope you have a goodd rest of the wekend.
I don't make potato salad - I can never make it as good as my Grandma Tena's... Glad to hear Marion was better today.
I like the part about sitting in the garage, watching the rain, and the turkeys.
It looks like playing card everyday is an enjoyment for the players but what you say about your mother and Marion recalls their misery due to the illness of age.
In friendship
