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 side 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.

I went to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston today to see the Edward Hopper exhibit; it was fabulous. I highly recommend it and intend to see it again.
