Catching Up! Multiple Recent Events...

Aphasia Group: I was glad to arrive home from Minneapolis April 13 in time to get Mom to the Aphasia support group she enjoys so much. In the video below, Mary Gospel is asking Mom to say where she is from and, in the process, help the speech students there understand how "aphasia" manifests itself in real life! This is a wonderful opportunity for the stroke survivors to educate future speech therapists. Hopefully it will make a different in the lives of countless others.

We had a new little furry friend that night, Jan's new "service dog":

The Tuesday Bible Study Mom and I are involved in at Summer Trace is growing. Mom wasn't here this day, but these are some of her dear friends:



Joan, a cancer survivor herself, leads the group. She blows me away with her extensive memory and knowledge of the Scriptures that she has studied so diligently on her own. She is truly passionate about God's word and the new life she has experienced in Him. She is an inspiration to all of us!

Flowers: Mom got a truly beautiful pot of tulips from Bill and Gail. I regret that I didn't get a picture when they were in their full glory! Mom sure enjoyed them.

Weds. night cars: Kings-in-the-Corner and Euchre continue to be a favorite with Mom and others.



Band concerts are always a real favorite. This was the Indianapolis Municipal Band performing at Ben Davis High School Auditorium. We'll be hitting the outdoor concerts soon!

Mom's doing a little conducting of her own in this video:
