My husband and I did Wayfaring today and took the photo next to a map of our neighbourhood in Melbourne.  Wayfaring is a dying skill. We used to use paper maps to discover new places and would plan our best route then create a visual memory of where we were in the world. Now, with Google maps we rely completely on GPS and its algorithms to guide us.  We trust its version of the route and are left without any internal map memories to tell us we've been or how we got home. I like how fast digital is but oh wow do we miss looking up and charting our own course.  

My Mom ultimately passed after a roller coaster ride where we were alternately told that she would and then she would not be fine. BUT, the Concopia cards were great for when she was going through chemotherapy. It kept our conversations on topics beyond her disease, which we both liked. No. 4, Roots, was a particularly memorable conversation because it appears that my Mom really, really learned a lot from a lady across the street from us, Nikki. I never realized that they were that close.
