Visiting Mom

Yesterday I drove down to Knoxville to visit my mom. I got there in the early afternoon and spent the rest of the day with her. Today I spent the whole day with her playing Rummikub, shopping at Walmart and basically visiting with her. She is doing very well. Back in October she was released from Hospice care. I think that means she’s going to live a long time. She is hardly using her oxygen anymore. Here’s a picture of her I took today. This was before she got her hair done in the afternoon.

Visiting Bob

This morning I drove down to Fredericksburg Virginia to visit my friend, Bob. After having some breakfast, we went to three different art galleries in the Fredericksburg area. We saw photography, paintings, mixed media and an art studio where artwork is on display and artists are working. You could also buy artwork there. I enjoyed seeing all the artwork.

After the art, we went to Chatham. It’s a huge historic house that has been in Fredericksburg since 1771. It overlooks the town of Fredericksburg. It looks huge on the outside but it’s really only one room deep. It’s still pretty big though. It is part of the Civil War history of Fredericksburg. We enjoyed seeing all the gardens on the outside too.

After visiting Chatham we went to lunch and then I came home. Long drive but worth it to see Bob.
