Betty and I took Val for his walk. Then I repaired home to make the squash soup with a little onion. I am adding sherry and cream. Can hardly wait. If mom doesn’t want any, I am sure I will find enough room.

Off to take Valentino on our 1.5-mile hike. I think he looks for Lucy while we’re out there. He stops and looks to the right and then the left. Maybe we shouldn’t anthropomorphize our animals, but I would like to think that Val loved Lucy and that he misses her as much as I do.

My friend Mia suggested I put the pineapple light back in mom’s room. Just keep trying, she said. I did, and she was right. Ah, much-needed wisdom from a friend.
