No, I don’t mean the movie with Goldie Hawn, although, I do love Goldie.  This morning I got up to take my walk/run and to my surprise, there was a beautiful white flower on the cactus in the front yard.  I took a picture, which was good, because now I find out that they normally only bloom for one night.  When David and I headed out for speech therapy, the flower was already closing up.  There are two more buds on the cactus, so maybe there will be another tomorrow.

So, we headed off to Speech Therapy at the Dolores Hope Pavilion of the Bob Hope Medical Center.  You know, the one on Bob Hope Dr, off of Frank Sinatra Dr.  Part of the same complex that houses the Betty Ford Center.  We had a very good session and I think when we get back we will begin some good work with them.  She has suggested that David work on trying to read aloud, which he did tonight before bed.  He began the blog entry from last night, with limited success.  He did get the Birds.

After that, we went to the Stroke Recovery Center and David went to the “Rap Session” and I went to the “Caring for the Caregivers” meeting.  There were two folks from the center, me and a woman who comes to the center with her son who had a stroke.  it was, as always, good to talk to folks who are going through the same things that you are.  The theme of this meeting was nutrition, and helpful.

Then we went home and watched the news about the SCOTUS decisions.  Terrific news, and the decision came down just as I was getting home from my walk/run this morning, and I have to say, I was a bit verklempt.  We went to downtown Palm Springs for the rally tonight, which was fun to see, and be a part of, but didn’t stay for too long, as it was HOT!  Supporters met under Marilyn’s skirt (see picture).  A great day for America and a great day for California and Palm Springs!

We also went to Luigi’s Barber Shop for haircuts for both of us, and David had a shave as well.
