Harvest Moon - full moon, Palm Springs, CA
October 6 2025
Night mode with the full moon - looks like a daytime photo!
Even without night mode it's bright.
Moon shadows are a thing.
🌴 Mark had a mobile nail specialist visit today (huge thanks to David & Steve + Tom 💙).
🌴 While Mark got pampered, Wes & David enjoyed nachos, ginger ale, and a Sunday Funday drink. Perfect weather + people-watching = a great afternoon! 🌴 #Gratitude #MyALSJourney #alsnetwork
Movie night with Wilson 🎬🍿 Popcorn, good laughs, and stand-up comedy to close it out. Thanks, Wilson — always great having you around (and hey, it’s nice to finally not be the tallest in the room 😄).

There’s something magical about Palm Springs nights… 🌴 Under a dark desert sky, the palms light up like lanterns — simple, striking, and timeless. A reminder that even in the quiet, beauty has a way of standing tall and shining through. ✨🌴.

Italian Night 🇮🇹🍝 got pushed back while Mark rested, but Tuesday’s visit made up for it. David & Steve brought spaghetti & meatballs with fresh parmesan — so good! Grateful for the stories, laughter & company. ❤️

From Mrs. Roper kaftans 🌺 to St. Pat's Day 🍀 to July 4th 🎆… themed dinners are tradition. Hawaiian Night brought Aloha vibes with haystacks, pineapple cake + mango sorbet. Mahalo to David & Steve for the home-cooked fun! 🌈🥂🌴

David + Steve = fun filled evening 🌟
Steve's fresh haircut ✂️, stuffed shells 🍝 (tiny bites for Mark 💛), dogs bouncing 🐾, and tiramisu to finish 🍰.
Good food. Good friends. Good times. #palmsprings #alsjourney #alsnetwork #ALSawareness #EndALS #ALS #ALSsucks #lougehrigsdisease #livingwithALS
🌈 After 6 hours of ALS Clinic Day in Loma Linda, tough talks & vital care, the drive home gave us a rainbow stretching into Palm Springs. Proof that even in the hardest battles, hope still shows up. 💙

Breakfast for champions... (from right to left):
3 bolus syringes of nutrition (through the peg tube)
2 bolus syringes of coffee (through the peg tube)
1 bolus syringe to flush and keep the peg tube clean
Mark had it rough last week in ICU from Saturday 7/19 to Friday 7/25 in ICU with pneumonia and intubated through discharge. He has definitely earned some chocolate ice cream from #Kreem to go… a few drops on the tongue for taste and the rest through the feeding tube!

Midnight dog walks, big moon on the horizon , illuminated palm trees...

Observations from night-time dog walk(s).
In Palm Springs, door colors are more than just an entrance—they’re a bold nod to Mid-Century Modern flair.
Thank you for sending this to Mark for his birthday, David. His birthday seems to be continuing.
"Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. Happy Birthday to you Mark Reavis to a beautiful man who's always smiling. Enjoy and indulge, big warm hugs, David".
Night blooming cactus. #desertbloom
"She only comes out at night"... where have I heard that line before... ? Maneater, Daryl Hall & John Oates !

The warmer spring weather in Palm Springs allowed the caregiver and I to get Mark outside on the patio for some sun and fresh air.
Many thanks to our DME supplier @unicare_health
