So small. So soft. So CUTE!

They need to work on their messaging.

I’m so sorry, Mark. Yes, dementia is cruel, both to the patient and to their loved ones.

@Daniel. I’m not sure it backfired. The wretchedness and the cruelty are the point. They want to terrify the immigrants, legal or not.

@Daniel. I was trying to find just the right emoji for my post to you, but none of them were quite right!

@Daniel. I don’t think you’re her target audience!

if I’m eating at Kann, I’m going to want the real thing for that much money. (We enjoyed our dinner there last year but it was super spendy.)

And this seems to be the ultimate processed food. I’m not interested. Mr. AM wants to try it, though.

@wtg That’s a great story. I’ve read in many places that dementia patients can sometimes sing, even when they can’t talk. The power of music lies so deeply in memory.

My MIL is in memory care; they have music therapy/singalong on a regular basis. I don’t know if Mom sings or not, but she seems to enjoy it.

I’m planning to go with a small group to sing at a congregation member’s memory care facility in a couple weeks. We’re practicing next week, going the following week. I restrung my guitar in anticipation of this and one other gig in July. (I’m a very rudimentary player; guitar is just meant to keep me singing in key!)

We’ll always need electricians and plumbers!

Amen.

@AndyD Those blue prongs are interesting!

No picture, but there was a coyote this morning at about 9 am, on the hilly back yard of the neighbor across the street. Lots of yipping. The two dogs next door were having quite an issue with the yipping.

Happy summer! We’ll have a high of 59 to day, and rain, rain, rain. Maybe thunderstorms, too. It’s better than a heat dome. My hydrangeas are beginning to bloom, and they’re glorious.

That quiet little band is lovely. The oval is too showy for me, but I do have a sapphire with a small diamond on each side that I wear occasionally.

Happy anniversary, you sweet babies!

I’d wear that. And sapphire is my birthstone, so I should!

Temporary can be as long as you need it to be. My neighbors had a blue tarp on their roof for years. I think it lasted until they sold the house, and the new owners took care of it.

I pre-ordered for my Kindle. Looking forward to reading it!

NOPE.
