the collector

Yes, I realize it has been quite some time since my last post but what can I say, I'm a little busy at the moment.  One thing I have been meaning to write about is Annie's desire to collect things.  She was always a collector, in bulk, why have one rolling pin when you can have 100?? This was the logic before dementia/alzheimer's hit.  Now however she has taken to collecting some, um, unusual items.  First we cannot rave enough about empty plastic containers, mostly ensure bottles with the wrappers ripped off, to hold a variety of "things."  Next on the list of the nicknack extravaganza will be rocks and seeds--tree, plant, avocado-all are beautiful.  And somehow she can take these junk items and arrange them to look good.  For those of you who knew Annie before she was sick, you know she had a flair for decorating, well it is one thing that has not left her yet. See Photos for some of her decorating delights.
