Paradise temporarily regained

It's so wonderful outside I must get my mother out on her pegs! So out for 5 blocks this morning; then I got to go running and working out; and we went out for 4 more blocks late in the afternoon, to mail a letter to the family who bought her house back in Ohio. I think, despite her neurological vagueries, the whole thing about her house and what happened to it after she left has been a couple of years settling into her consciousness. it pretty much lay fallow for about a year, until all of us siblings decided it was best to put it on the market. It finally sold late last fall, and we got in touch with the family who bought it. They turned out to be very sweet and thoughtful, and Mother is now in communication with them.
Lovely evening of listening to KEXP-FM's Wo Pop night. They featured a live performance by a Northern Italian group called Fiamma Fumana. Their sound was very Celtic, with bagpipes, which they said were indigenous to the Emilia Romagno area they were from. Very nice.
