Memory Care Corner
Lori Petersen Montevideo Area Memory Loss Network (MAMLN) Have you ever told your spouse or friend something and knew they were not paying attention? I experience that from time to time if I say something to my husband while he is looking at his IPad or listening to the television. Even though he might murmur a response, I can almost bet that he has no idea what he just responded to! (Perhaps this is the time I should suggest making a large purchase or plan a trip!) If you stop and think about it, hearing and remembering go hand in hand.

From the Editor’s Desk
For the last year, I’ve been working on a creative project with photography, building intricate sets in studio and pulling in volunteer models to be costumed and photographed. The end result of this will be an exhibit in a gallery showcasing the work. It’s fairly similar to the final project I worked on at the end of my university coursework for photography, but in this instance I have full creative freedom, whereas that project was specifically designed to hit all topics learned in lighting, posing and technique, thus every photo had to be entirely different.
