The Oscar Trubeck Trio, At The Mansion

The Oscar Trubeck Trio

The Oscar Trubeck Trio, whose members live in and around my town, came in to play for the Mansion Valentine’s Day Party. They were quite wonderful. I’m putting up some more photos, this may be the most satisfying and moving thing the blog has ever been involved with, and I am so grateful for the hard work, imagination, love and creativity so many of you have shared with the Mansion Residents.

As they approach the end of their lives, you  have brought so much light and love to them, they speak about you all the time. There were even letters from Germany and England and boxes of chocolates and fresh-baked cookies, flowers, and the very person letters, which are read and re-read and share for days even weeks. I’m up for Easter if you are. This is just the most wonderful thing, my heart just soared when I walked in there today.

Several of the residents are reading my blog, and they thought I sounded sad about Maria’s trip. I suppose I was sad when she left but I am not sad today. Tomorrow i am having dinner at the Mansion with the residents there, they are worried about my eating. Red is invited as well.
