Last Yellow Rose and the Parachute

A rosebud still braving it in Ohio just at the door of our new home for 2 days....I couldn't help myself, I had to help myself to it for furthwe study and what a joy it has been!
The Tim Horton cup comes in handy...I so often am rewarded for not throwing things out right away and use comes again to what might be trash.
Parachute game....Mama has to smile with her efforts to keep the assorted balls aloft. Laughter is such an essential skill in aging. I am keen on it myself. Mama and I laughed together...it is one of our best means of communication. Mama's roommate Eunice sits to her left. She hears so little but she loves my smile. Sad how we sink within ourselves as we age.

Maybe sinking within ourselves is not sad..maybe we are traveling back through our lives in our memory--stopping at each sunny or wistful moment with a smile or a laugh...that is what I hope anyway.

the rose is stunning, and even more so in an ordinary coffee cup
lets the rose shine without interruption from a fancy vase

the parachute photo made me smile

thank you for your kind comment
