Remembering the Music, Forgetting the Words Travels with Mom in the Land of Dementia by Kate Whouley - A friend loaned this to me a few years ago, and I just now got around to reading it. It's a true story about a mother and daughter and what happened to them as the mother became increasingly forgetful and unable to care for herself. Kate's mom had a strong personality to go along with her condition, but Kate met the challenge with love and care. She made a vow to keep her mom safe and happy, and then made choices and decisions that always kept that vow in mind. A very quick and comfortable read, considering the uncomfortable subject.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
