My mother fell and broke her arm Monday before last and has been staying with us on and off since then. (She stayed last weekend with my aunt.) She has surgery tomorrow to fix the break and then she'll stay with my aunt for awhile. She hopes to go back to her apartment after that.
We are still really missing Gray Kitty. He was our constant companion for the last fifteen years, coming to live with us as a four-year-old stray. He was such a good cat. We talked to Carrie, the woman who stayed with Gray Kitty while we were in Florida. She is a very talented artist and is going to do a portrait of Gray Kitty for us. Kelly and Kevin are in Italy but they sent some very lovely flowers. Dave's sister Sara sent us a copy of Judith Viorst's book The Tenth Good Thing About Barney.
So much is going on right now. There's not any time to rest and grieve.
As part of getting ready to clear out Dave's father's house, we bought a slide scanner. To test it out, we scanned a bunch of slides of work that I did over twenty years ago. I haven't looked at photos of my work from that time in decades. I was surprised at some of it. Some was very good. Some was very pretentious. There were a few that I have absolutely no recollection of, despite having spent hours and hours making it.
Very strange.
