Wednesday, 30 July 2025 ... a start to observing a day lived and experienced

He sat with his fellow patients, quietly and placidly with a blank stare, at the mall on a trip. The group was eating and their caregivers were up and providing help to those who were in need, mostly to go to the bathroom. They didn't talk but were intent and seemingly enjoying themselves. 

Peg and I ate our Thai meals, she fish and mine chicken. Large portions that we worked through diligently and progressively. I helped out with her large portion after finishing mine. 

Later we walked over the Barnes & Noble and sat in the magazine section. Peg, as is her passion, sought out the woodworking publications and selected four of them for a total cost over $30. But she showed me some of the creations that were shown, pictures of the pieces and the plans of how to do it. They really are amazingly detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to make these projects. She's always thinking of her grandkids and what she can make for them with her fine jigsaw with its slim blade. 

We got our walking in on a hot day where we turned on the AC in the house (set a degree lower than normal for Peg at 77 degrees) throughout the mall.
