Morris visit on Friday, he brought flowers, seems to be doing very well. I chat a little with Morris when he arrives and then leave them to themselves, so cannot report on how much conversation vs napping goes on.
evening conversation with H. about St Philip Neri school, how it was, asked what her favorite subject was - drama, she loved putting on the plays ... she participated in all the sports that were offered - she said she wasn't any good but she enjoyed playing, she usually got kicked off the team after a few weeks ... the priest who ran the school lived next door to her. She commented about no-one having any $ then, not even the rich people ... I asked if she ever had to go hungry - "oh no,no,no ... we always had all the necessities, lived in a very nice home". she talked some about visiting Cincinnati when a child to visit rich cousins (her aunt?) ... it was a long car-ride with Mr. (forget name) who travelled there on business ... she got a treat everyday - sometimes a popsicle, sometimes all-day sucker, plus others ... she and her mother would travel there, she was allowed to go 'cause she was so well-behaved ... always used "please and thank-you" ...
H. asked me to get something for her, somehting that goes in her lap and is "certainly not very flexible" ... she really couldn't describe it much more than that, not even to say what she did with it ... I looked around to where she had indicated it would be (over her right shoulder) and could not find anything like a lap-desk or tray ... if anybody has any idea what she might be referring to, let me know.
Sunday, we are expecting a communion visit from Holy Redeemer.
