Tales of the Farblunget: Farblunget  (farb-LAWN-jet) is a Yiddish word that "describes the state of aimless wandering, or being hopelessly lost and unsure where to turn next."  My husband has Alzheimer's disease. The "conversations" that my lost and confused husband and I have these days are not only excruciatingly repetitive, but they are also often absurd, strange, surreal, and sometimes, especially in retrospect, hilarious: Farblunget.

Each painting is a tiny story about living with him as his disease slowly progresses, and he becomes more and more disoriented and disconnected from reality. The titles are direct quotes. Picture us eating dinner at our kitchen table, while he tells me,"I used to live here." Or asking me now, when I visit him in memory care: "How did you find me, wherever it is that I am?"
