Cold weather

With it too cold to sit outside and feed the birds
I had to find mother something to do.
I found these round plastic forms to stich.
She does very well, but i have to be there for each and every
stich. Up down up down up down -
i got yarn that changes color and specific needles.

So, now it will be months of coloring, beading, puzzles,
stitching.
Her speech is more times than not pretty much nonsense
or nutty questions. She still gets dressed on her own and
washes up. Likes to keep everything put away, much to
her own detriment - like when she put away the phone !
I cannnot stay over there very long because she paces around
doing stuff or pointing out things about the apartment that have
been like that for years.
