Early Christmas!


Hello everyone!

Today was an exciting one - I got to open a Christmas present early, and it is my gorgeous new outfit/present from Carol & Ken. Then I got to talk with them on the phone about how much I love it! You can see it in the picture on my lap during my conversation with them.

I also got to meet Isla (eye-la), Betty & Doug's new puppy. She is a flat coated retriever, rumored to hit around 50 pounds when full grown but presently a petite 14 pounds at 10 weeks. She was a hit with other residents around me.

In a few more weeks I get to meet my new great grandson, Joseph Ray. He is the son of Maggie & Marc, and they are bringing him here for me to meet! Pictures to follow....right now I only have those that are up on my wall behind me - it will be great to get some of me holding him.

Our residence is quite festive with lots of Christmas decorations around. We get lots of young adult and children singing groups caroling us each day. Homemade goodies abound this time of year; nothing like having a homemade cookie in front of the fireplace!

Season's Greetings


The season is starting around here! Above this note is a picture of me in front of the Christmas tree in the living room where I live. As you can see there isn't any snow and we are enjoying a string of great weather days presently.

Saturday a group of children stopped by to sing carols for us, and then we did Christmas crafts with a family in our recreation room. My room is decorated for Christmas and I have a new bauble on the tree outside my bedroom that reminds me of snowflakes!

The best news is that Marc & Maggie will be introducing me to their son, Joseph, in about 4 weeks. He will only be around 3 months by then, so totally holdable and cuddly. I am really looking forward to this visit. The pictures I have of them will take on even more meaning, I am sure.
