WONDERFUL visit with my very close friends yesterday! We met up in the living room of my residence and then went up and chatted in my apartment for quite a while - I even delayed dinner to complete my visit.

Connie and Vic will ever be a part of my life. It was so great to see them! They got to meet many of my co-residents and the staff at my residence. They believed me to be in a very nice place, a good placement for my needs, and they commented on the fact that I was doing quite well! I must say seeing friends like this is truly a happiness factor for me!

A great visit!

We are fast approaching the Memorial Day weekend, and I anticipate a visit by some very close friends. Today I was able to visit with my son, his wife and their grandson(my great-grandson). We had a nice visit. The picture is of me and the two boys (Dylan's father wasn't with them) - hard to believe Dylan is already 22 months and beginning to talk).

It is a rainy start to this weekend, but each day of the holiday weekend brings a promise that we will get a bit more sunshine. The holiday will be celebrated around here with a parade in front of my residence, and a party to celebrate all of the people I live with that have been a part of making the Armed Services what they are.

Mother's Day

Today we had a wonderful Mother's Day afternoon tea with family and friends. There were excellent finger sandwiches, fresh fruit, tea and cookies (and a piece of chocolate!). The tables were decorated with pink lace tablecloths, flowers and baskets of colorful flower seed packets. Everyone got to take some home to plant in their gardens. Some will also be planted around here. Between the music and various testimonials, we had a great time. Betty and Doug were there (they brought me a new blouse), and the 2 flower bouquets from Joan & Randy, Carol & Ken decorated the area.

All in all it was a very nice way to celebrate Mother's Day!
