We had company the other day. Friends of mine stopped by to deliver a basket from Pennwriters.

The Curmudgeon had never met them but he visibly brightened when they came in the house. He very much enjoyed the conversation.

Thanks Jack and Bonnie. You truly brightened his day.

I’m sure he gets tired of my company.

What a visit does for him:

1. brightens his spirits
2. helps him forget his pain for a bit
3. stimulates his brain
4. makes him feel less isolated
5. Makes him easier to live with for a few days

Otherwise he sits in his chair and watches TV and drives me crazy talking about TV.
