SOON THE EXHIBIT

The exhibit about caring for Mom, or really about Geraldine, is coming soon. I applied for this exhibit a year ago when Mom was with us. I did NOT expect her to die before the exhibit. I thought she would get to see it.

MOM DREW, TOO

Sometimes I could coax Mom to draw. The middle drawing is her portrait of me.

This is a sketch we did together of the Christmas Tree.

This is another portrait of me by Mom.

SKETCHES OF MOM

I didn't have a chance to sketch Mom on every visit. Sometimes we were occupied with the entertainment or eating a meal.

Mom was often leaning to her left.

FOUND! ANOTHER MOM-AT-NH SKETCH

Looking for a phone number in last year's pocket calender I found another sketch of Mom at the Nursing Home! I do keep finding sketches on scraps, tucked away here and there.

Here's another in a little notebook, an entertainer at RNC.

 Then two more from my sketch book. She liked stuffed animals.
