Slice of life

I am always torn between posting only the flattering photos of my mom or ones that capture life as it is. Sometimes they can be both attractive and real, but not always. Here's what today's photo captures:
- what she picked up in the courtyard
- her typical bling
- evidence that she hasn't had her hair washed?
- her responsiveness; always ready to talk to the camera
- our little friend in the background who loves walking LS
- some of the many critters at Silverado in the large cage
- LS being a good sport about it all
