visitors on Saturday included Dan & Cynthia, Tom & Thomas, Ruth Brock.
H. enjoyed them all. I was doing some cleaning while Ruth was here, so cannot report on H. participation.
She did prep for the one visit that she knew about ahead of time by doing a b-room visit complete with oral care -t'brush & m'wash, and was concerned about body oder, could find no perfume, so I applied the body lotion that sits on the counter and she was happy with that. Her social skills are very much alive and funtioning, I would say.
H had a couple of direct questions for Thomas - "are you dating?" and " is there one special girl?" ... very sweet ...
H also related to me recent social drama in the Morris-realm ... apparently, last vist Morris related to H a comment made by one of H's rivals, it was a dis'ing comment about H. I asked her why she thought it was said and her response was something to the effect " well, he'll be off and it's too-da-loo Peg" ... I wish I could remember the exact phrase ... bottom line, she senses trespassing on her turf and is concerned.
I asked why would Morris tell her about this (as anyone with a brain would know it would cause hurt feelings and generate anxiety about her status in his world, I did not say this to her)... no definitive conclusion from H on this. Could have been completely innocent on his part, hope so.

May be completely unfair for me to say, but I think this is part of Mom's fantasy world. I believe that something Morris said hurt her (may be that he was too happy when he advised about his upcoming trip to Alaska?) or that she senses a true and distinct separation from her "husband" and this is the only way she can process it. I believe that she is sharp enough to know that she should be angry or hurt or something, but she doesn't quite know what she should be or why she is feeling anything.
Over the last few years, she has related to me several times that her husbands play around and that she has seen them sitting in cars with other women, etc.
I think that generally she is concerned about being presentable and I am pleasantly surprised to think that she actually connected this to someone's visit.
Great news that Tom and Thomas came for a visit. Other than Dan and Cynthia, I typically don't see anyone else. Makes for a long week and weekend.
Thanks for the reports.
