Thanks for the nice comments...and yes, I...Pat,<br /><br />Thanks for the nice comments...and yes, I'm planning to encore next year. Not sure yet about dressing at the sale itself. (I have lots of time to make that decision.) I just need to find one outfit (preferably a dress) to let me out-do myself! <br /> <br />And that should be fun...<br /><br />I notice older folks at the nursing home who never get visitors, or if they do, they're C-E-T visitors: Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving. I try to be there for her 4 or 5 days out of 7...except when I'm out of town. Though she has little concept of time, she does look forward to my visits, and misses me when I'm not there. How many will be as her son, vs her daughter: well, that remains to be seen!<br /><br />Mandy<br />Mandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-42162804815187026702014-11-18T09:18:17.639-08:002014-11-18T09:18:17.639-08:00I agree with the comments and the sentiment of the...I agree with the comments and the sentiment of the director. It seems that she, along with the other workers would all be pleased to welcome you regardless of the extent of the feminine nature of your presentation. While the Elizabeth Taylor photos are great your regular femme presentation is, as the director noted, pretty and while dressed 'You can go anywhere with confidence'. I am certain that if on any given day you arrived at the home while wearing a skirt or if you changed there like you did on Halloween so that you could leave while fully attired that it would be fine with the staff and appreciated by all you encounter as providing them with something just a touch out of the ordinary to make their day.<br /><br />I would even take the comments from your mother on your 'passability' as a positive sign. I think that she would be fine with the occasional visit from the daughter she never knew. Being passable is a good thing.<br /><br />Your mother is very luck that she has a wonderful and attentive child to see her during her senior days.<br />Keep on keeping on. <br /><br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.com
