The sunshine and warm breezes enticed Mama all day, making her want to get outside. She walked a little ways with Duncan and me, on his after-work walk. Then, somehow, by the skin of her teeth and utter determination, with her cane to prop on, Mama walked a very long-seeming block from our apartment to a corner restaurant. We took Duncan, too, but there were no outdoor tables left, so she was seated indoors to wait while I took the little guy back to the apartment and his kennel. We had a nice meal and a slow walk home. Mama thoroughly enjoyed herself and is now taking a nap in her recliner, Duncan right beside her, asleep.

I love your photography as well as your documentation of your life and lives of others. I live for every new photo and description of what you do from day to day. Duncan, Mamma, you, your meals...my favorites. There is something so comforting about your lifestyle.
I can't get around well til I have my knees replaced next month (the first one). I'm around your age. It's so uplifting to see your mom enjoying life. My mom is in perfect health physically, but mentally... She complains all the time, won't go out (has social anxiety and won't go to the shrink). If I could get around like she does...
You are like a family I wish I had. My own "made" family is great...DH, grown DD and DS. I just wish I had "Mamma", your mamma! Duncan is so nonchalant and cute. He cracks me up. More photos of Duncan in his little carrying case on the bus!
Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying the blog. Good luck with your knees.
