Journal: 12/28/05

Today I hung out with Mom, and was cheered to see her feeling much better – almost her old spry, buoyant self. We sat in her apartment, as we have so often, telling old stories and laughing with delight. At 89, she has more youthfulness then some people in their 30’s I know.

Mary Anne and Al hosted a chili party tonight. Al and I had a great time preparing the chili this morning – chopping veggies, sautéing mushrooms and onions, and taking pleasure in each other’s company. The party itself was a noisy but happy affair – a chance for 8 of 9 Salsich siblings to come together with spouses and friends for a few hours of relaxed companionship.
