September is flying
The leaves are beginning to turn
here on the town walking trails of New Brunswick.
I have decluttering jobs here and there
but for the most part my time is mine right now.
I framed two cross stitches which I finished in August:
They will go on the walls of our rv
which are pitifully bare.
I’m trying to locate all of my rug hooking supplies;
since the move to our temporary apartment the
boxes are in chaos.
I’m also stitching a small piece from
Modern folk on Etsy.
It’s a Japanese alphabet for my daughter who
loves Japan and speaks a little Japanese.
The highlight of my week was seeing
two special friends visit at a nursing home.
The 81 and 94 year old besties have been apart since
February!
They communicate using
Two handed British Manual language because
one of them is deaf AND blind.
Words are spelled into the hand using specific points
on the hand.
As the time drew to a close, the 94 year old said,
“I wish we could all get good and drunk.”
I had debated bringing gin, but their current medication
wouldn’t jive with it.
They both endure painfully lonely times.
There are three cases in the province now so we
need to take advantage before the numbers rise.
Happy Fall to All.

Your views are stunning...and your stitching projects beautiful. I puzzled over the one you are working on for quite a bit thinking it looked Chinese....should have read first and saved myself the puzzling LOL. What a touching photo of the friends...I did not realize there was that form of sign language. I am so glad they were reunited....no matter how briefly. They allowed me an outdoor visit with my mom last week (distanced and masked of course)....she just is so confused about why she has to wear a mask and no one visits. It is heart wrenching. ~Robin~

What a sweet visit for your elderly friends.
Beautiful foliage, hope we have a good year and we can get out to see it.
Beautiful stitcheries and love your story, hope I am that feisty when I get that age.

Heart wrenching is right. And most nursing homes are understaffed so their only contact time is meals.
My favourite time too! I try not to think of the length of the next season
Me too- the 94 year old drove her mustang convertible until she was 93. Actually that may not have been a good thing for the other drivers.😬
Hello. Gorgeous foliage. You are right, September passed in a blur. I love the sweet visit for your elderly friends. The loneliness they are having to endure right now is heartbreaking.
