Monday, September 19, 2022Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2008. Mattie was in the hospital and that day was visited by Jude, one of the music volunteers. Mattie loved all the music folks and Jude made learning about music fascinating. Why? He came with props! Meaning he would come to a hospital room with a little red wagon filled with all sorts of instruments. Mattie could pick an instrument, learn about it and even play it. That day he selected the rain stick!

My mom had a physical therapy session today. While in therapy, she hit her hand on the parallel bars and started bleeding. I don't go anywhere without Band-Aids and have a first aid kit in my car. I cleaned her up and back to therapy she went. After her session, we went out to lunch at the mall. I honestly couldn't believe what was on display! Well this photo was seasonally appropriate, as it was Halloween and fall themed. But look below!
It is September!!! You couldn't tell this inside this department store. To them it was Christmas time. Christmas in September! I noticed one shopper came in and was literally screaming when she saw these trees! She felt it was too early. Though I absolutely agree with the woman screaming, I felt strangely attracted to the ornaments and trees. Maybe because of the feeling holidays evoke! I just don't know. But I do believe that we live in a society that can't appreciate living in the moment, so instead, we are going to blend it holidays all together or speed it up the entire process. The whole first floor of the store was decorated! White trees, green trees, ribbons, ornaments, reindeer, and santa!Santa on his sleigh!A tree filled with Wedgewood!These Santa themed plates come from Italy, Vietri to be specific. I really loved them.
Loved the bears, but was looking for the third one (as I expected the three little bears on display).
