💓Heart lifted high, thank you, TC. It will be a great pleasure to send warm greetings, short poems, and moving quotes to Jurate. Let's go TAFM readers and show Jurate that she is in our hearts and on our minds. Jurate wants to hear from US!💗

I've already been going through my digital photographs and trying how to get them into a non-digital format and then weighing whether I want to subject ANYONE to my pathetically devolved handwriting (I think the Hermes Rocket might be getting a workout, once I figure out how to get it open...the reason I'm talking typewriters is that I have no idea how get an envelope through the printer and since I'm gonna be typing the envelope....this is boring).

but thanks, Fern, for the original suggestion. as I wrote last night, I didn't disagree with the suggestion AT ALL.

AND I'm happy Jurate wants to hear from us.

so THERE, Fern...once more, we agree.

Thank you, TC. That's such good news about Jurate's smile, liking the food and eating more. I was watching Martin Scorsese's documentary about Fran Leibowitz "Pretend It's A City", and FL said something to the effect that musicians and chefs bring us more joy than any other professions. I think enjoying meals when one has no choice about where and when one is eating is a defining characteristic of a good care establishment. It makes such a difference. Fingers crossed that both your satisfaction with "end of life" care continues. As they say, the card's in the mail! xo

NEWS: The very nice card Vicky in Castro Valley made, with the beautiful photographs from her friend, appeared in the mailbox today - first of the many. Jurate really liked the photos.

TC, such a relief and good news about Jurate's fine care. You and Fern are " Team Jurate" and I, for one, consider it a privilege to join in. God bless Jurate ( and you)! Both still in my prayers each night.

Cards begin tomorrow from me.
