We could not enter the via the west entrance as usual because of ongoing renovation. So we entered through the Fenway entrance. By the time we reached the Gund Gallery on the other of the building, Mom (because of Parkinson's) was tired out. So we borrowed an MFA wheelchair for her to sit on in the gallery. While it is disconcerting to see an aging parent needing a wheelchair, pushing the chair gave me a sense of purpose. Before we came to the museum, I was quite depressed. Thus that sense of purpose - as well as the art - improved my mood. I also noticed that people clear a path for a wheelchair and do not complain when you move right in front of a painting.
Afterward I bought a copy of The City of Falling Angels: by John Berendt at the gift shop. I have started reading it and like it so far.

On Sunday (July 5), Mom and I went to a family friend's birthday party. This party coincided with his annual Independence Day car rally. While Mom chatted, I walked about looking at and photographing the vintage automobiles.
The weather for Sunday & Monday was excellent; sunny and warm. Today it was back to rain and will be like this through Thursday.

Happy Independence Day.

A classmate and longtime friend of Mom paid a visit today. It was nice to see her. Mom was delighted of course. The friend had traveled from California to attend a ceremony at PA honoring her dad, a football coach.
