Mom and Her New Curls!

Tom and I went to visited Mom and she was so happy to see us. Once again she did not have the air on, and it was very hot in her apartment. Tom quickly turned the air on, and Mom replied the weather inside her apartment was so cool, and it felt so good. We brought her fresh fruit, and her favorite cinnamon bagel with honey nut cream cheese. She could not wait to dive into her treats.

Mom had a new hairstyle today with lots of curls. I guess she had asked Martha for the new look. The first thing she said to me was how cute she looked.  I told her the curls were cute on her, but I knew it would not last by tomorrow.

Here's Mom's new curly look.  She kept telling us how cute she looked.

She was showing me the side of her hair how the curls even went there.

 Tom and I figured out why she likes the curly hair style.  We found this picture of her when she was a teenager and she still thinks of herself as a teenager. She was so cute back then, and still is now!

Mom and I walked over to give her friend Sherry a bagel and cream cheese.  I try and bring Sherry treats several times a week because Sherry helps Mom in so many ways. The last couple of days, Tom and I could not figure out where Mom had gotten a big bag of popcorn that was on her counter. Sherry told me today that she made the popcorn for Mom, and Mom brought the pops. They both went downstairs to watch a movie on the big television. Mom even remembered eating the popcorn and going downstairs to see a movie. I was so happy that Mom remembered and had fun that evening.

She loves her treats, especially if its fruit and a bagel.

I asked her what did she had for her supper today. She could not remember but she said it was delicious.

She loves her angels.... even will wear angel pins...

Mom loves her photos being taken. Every time I show a picture of her, she will reply to me that she sure looks like a dolly...... she sure does......

I collected all her dirty clothes in the closet and in her cabinet, but noticed she was missing a lot of her underwear and socks. I have no idea what is happening to them. I will have to go and get more underwear and socks on Saturday for her. I pray that she is not having accidents, and just throwing them away.

While Mom was eating her fruit and bagel we went through the photos that I had taken a couple of days ago, and continued telling her stories about each photo.  She loves to hear the different stories, and once again she will add to each story.
We said goodbye with hugs, and butterfly kisses. She told Tom and I she wanted to walk to the elevator with us. I asked her if she will  know how to get back and she said her angels that are by her door will help her. My mom loves her angels and she always believed in angels even when I was little . Angels are all around us.... we need to take the time to feel their warmth.

Here she is walking with us to the elevator. She was smiling while she walked the long hallway.  She knew she could do it without any problems.  I was so proud of her.

Here she is walking back to her apartment looking for her angels.

We went downstairs to the main area where everyone hangs out. I said hello to everyone, but this time no one said hello. Before I opened the door to leave I had to figure out why no one said hello.  All the other days when I walked by them they would always say hello and would ask me where Lucy was.  I decided to try and listen to what they were all taking about,  and they all had such serious faces on except one man who just kept snoring. I guess the man in the wheel chair said he was leaving tonight because someone has been stealing from him.  Several others were expressing the same thing, but the problem I was having, no one said what was stolen from them.  I guess they all wanted to be dealing with the same issue as the man in the wheel chair was. They all wanted to be part of some excitement. To tell you the truth I really feel no one was stealing from any of them.  Thank  goodness my mom was not down there.  She would have added to the conversation and would have gotten very emotional. Her story would have been very creative, and she would have gotten everyone to call the police.

This is the man who started the conversation about the stealing. He does look like a tough guy, but I hear he is a real softie.

Here's the man that was not too interested about all the stealing,  he was doing more of the snoring.

Here they all were talking about all the stealing that is happening to each one of them. Even the Dot = Dot Ladies on the couch added their own stories about the stealing in their apartments. I left laughing to myself because half of these people can't  even hear what the other ones are talking about.
