It was an especially bright and beautiful day at the Mansion when I visited to drop off some fresh paintbrushes, small painting boards, and canvasses.

The LED lights we ordered for them were all over the place and graced a Witches Haven in the hallway corner (our Amazon Wish List from a couple of months ago.)

I brought some art supplies into the Activity Room and saw Maria’s clay sculpture work with the residents this morning, a flock of birds in quick-drying clay.  Maria said everyone had  a blast.

It was a full house for Maria’s art class, as usual.

Sharon passed on thanks to me for buying her a life-like toy cat that meows and moves. She said she had no words for what this meant to her.

It was quiet at the Mansion today and peaceful. The Mansion was full of light and warmth. They are getting ready for Halloween. Our Wish List got everyone into the spirit.
