Old Age Day by Day October 24, 2013

The season is really changing:  less light, cooler, leaves turning, the whole nine yards.  I hope we have a rainy season soon.

My husband and I settled down to watch the world series last night, but since we're for the Cards, we soon turned it off and watched a movie instead.  Perhaps tonight they will fare better.

My foster granddaughter and I went to the Dias de Los Muertos show at the museum, and loved it.  We put names of our dead on a tree - she put her dad and her dog, and I put my parents' names.  We made a little altar ourselves.  Then we went through the Natural Sciences part and she had a great time, especially after we ran into her friend and her family.  They bungled and had great fun and I talked to the grandpa.  I was so glad I'd taken her, because once she gets there she loves the hands on activities and writes and listens and looks.  She was engrossed in a video of a couple who take plastic washed up from the beaches and recycle it into artworks.  The pieces were beautiful.

Then we went up to the art gallery and she drew a self portrait that is automatically projected onto a wall of portraits, so, as I told her, she had an artwork hanging in a museum!
