All over Russell House, you will see art done by the residents. And even though most of it looks juvenile, there is a sense that these pictures were drawn by people with a deep sense of themselves, and a love for the world around them.
In Atlanta, a group called Art Without Boundaries is using art, music and other forms of creativity to help Alzheimer's suffers.
And it's working.
I've seen the amazing results of music and art on the residents of Russell House. Teresa loves to sing, and no matter what has happened throughout the day, a song will put a smile on her face.
Art, however, is not without its funny moments. On one of the collage posters made by the residents, there is a scrap of paper featuring the following poem:
Peter peter pumpkin-eater
Got drunk a lot
and is still paying for it.
Until next time, friends. Live well.
