Coloring with Mom

Last Saturday I stopped by for a visit with my mom.  It was a really good visit.  Or as good a visit as one can have when the person you are visiting is no longer the person you knew, has memory issues, mobility issues and the like.  

I finally tried something I had wanted to for some time.  We colored together.  Due to time constraints (mine) we didn't finish the project (and next time I would have us coloring on different pages).  But we did some coloring with my trusty Crayola twistables after working a very large jigsaw puzzle.    The purple, green, & orange  butterflies at the left of the page are my work.  I did the center of the orange/red one.  the other two are all Mom.

When I got there she said my hands were cold and insisted on warming it up.  That's my right hand (photo taken left handed so I'm amazed it came out so well - this photo was a hit on Facebook among family & friends)

WhatWouldJohnCrichtonDo?

When my uncle got to the point that he not only didn't really know who his wife was when she came to see him (almost every day), but he couldn't even have a conversation with her anymore, she would bring something like a deck of cards or a smallish ball. He could still stack the cards or try to make card houses with them or they could roll the ball to each other across a table. They could interact on a simple level. (He also remembered songs almost to the end.)

I'm glad you and your mom got to put together a puzzle, color together, and that she warmed your hands. :romance-heartsmiley: (Plus, your Crayolas look really cool!)

      Yep. Fundies have all kinds of nonsensical disputes and pre-marriage questionnaires about “theological differences” and “scripture”, so the parents may very well have objected the marriage due to some random difference in religious doctrine with the other family.

      I think the Whites are awful in many ways, but I'm kinda hoping that their objection was that the Bowers are a bunch of Insurrectionists who want to overthrow the government.

      Like Pelaiah, my dad was career military, and he sure as hell would have objected to me marrying into someone whose into treason.

      I guess I pulled a Braggie and put wall paper on my bathroom built in cupboard. It was super cheap though. I didn’t spend hundreds of dollars on designer Anthro paper. I spent like 8 or 9 bucks on a roll of this to brighten up the space:

      There’s pictures of Ilsa’s funeral on Jill’s Instagram page. My heart breaks for her, I hope she has the support she needs through this time. 

      My heart breaks for her too. Losing a much wanted pregnancy is terrible. I hope she is able to conceive again and to carry a baby to term and to have a safe delivery.

      That's my bad. I didn't realize that they had a theme going.

      And honestly, there's no reason why you should. It's not like anybody here is under any kind of obligation to keep up with fundie logic :). I just have that weird type of brain that remembers such stuff.

      Inside is still filthy and nothing is stored in the new storage chest.

      So Braggie essentially spent $500 for a "shelf" she doesn't need. A "shelf" over crowded with disparate things that don't complement or coordinate with each other or the "shelf".

      Just like the rest of her house.

      And ..... BEC -- I think that flower print is ugly as homemade sin.
