Unfortunately

Art by my mom
 My mom who has some dementia, goes to an adult 'daycare' at a senior home in the area for a couple of days of the week.  My sister sent me a photo of some art she did at the facility and I think it looks quite good!  I like the colours she used.  I don't remember her being artistic, but she used to knit very colourful blankets.

Ikea is recalling millions of dressers after children were killed in the US in case you haven't heard. Unfortunately we own a couple of these that we purchased several years ago. We were able to return them for a refund, no receipt was required.

On the topic of Ikea, I saw an article about their new museum opening in Sweden, I have to put that on my bucket list, would love to see it as I have been buying Ikea furniture for over 30 years.

LOVE your Mom's art, fantastic! I have one of those IKEA dressers, too, but I'm keeping it, as there are no kids here, and I don't climb onto the drawers these days! Hugs, Valerie

Your mum's art is wonderful. I'm sorry to hear that she has Dementia. My stepfather has Alzheimer's himself and it really breaks my mum's heart. The potential of the human mind is incredible though. She lost so much but also gained some things; such as an artistic eye.

I love your mom's art!
(It reminded me of one of your paintings from many years ago...

Your mom's sailboat is wonderful, but even moreso is the fact that she gets to do these projects, no matter how they may turn out. I hope she keeps doing her artwork for a long time.

That certainly is very beautiful. Colorful, which I like. I have never bought anything from Ikea. I don't there is such a store here in Hawaii.

What a vibrant painting by your mom, the colors are fun! I'm glad you were able to return the furniture. I've been to IKEA here, but I don't think any of the furniture I currently have is from there. I hope you get to go to their museum.
