December

My sweet friend Barbara, who, among her many talents is a skilled hairdresser, came over to my parents' house and gave my mom a new haircut! Doesn't Mom look pretty? I think a little beauty pampering was just what she needed to cheer her up a bit.

And here's one from last week, with Kali & Mom napping together.

And just to show how crazy exciting things get around here, here's one from today...
(Note Kali's sneer!)

This morning we went to consult with a doctor who does palliative radiation, and he thinks a short course (a week or so) may help decrease Mom's pain. So, worth a try.
After the consultation Dad went off to spend the day volunteering at the greenhouse at Reynolda Gardens and Mom hung out with me. We watched a cooking sort of show and then I read "Understood Betsy."

Oh, and last Sunday was the Community Christmas Concert. It's an event I enjoy every year, and this year I'd mentioned wanting to go to Ed, but then all the bounce was gone from my bungee and I didn't feel up to it. But he said we should go anyway, so we did. And it was Exactly What I Needed. Just lovely. I'm so lucky to have Ed.

Happy December!
