My door

 

Yes I am thankful 

Sandra put pictures on my door.  The middle picture is on the door of the blind lady.  

she is amazing.  She is lots of fun.

Friends

I am very thankful for all the new friends I have here.  Yesterday we gathered to hear music and do some dancing,  Lots of fun and laughter,

I also had a visit from my old friends from Colebrook 

church.  I was very involved there and made many friends.

I am happy here and am making friends but there is nothing like the friends you share memories with

I was so very happy.

I lost my picture I am unhappy.

EASY

It was not easy for dad and I to move in here.  The truth was we did not have the energy to look after ourselves.  We did not know how we would fit in with  playing Bingo and keep moving with morning activities.  Dad was soon meeting people and doing what he likes best to do which was talking and laughing with others.  He was well liked here and we all miss him.

I am making new friends and enjoying my life here. I do enjoy visits with Rick and Spenser.  It was fun to visit Carol and Panteli at their home.  I miss her but I thankful she is keeping well,  I will see her again in March. Sandra and Randy have now left for EDMONTON.  Randy has a costume so he can go trick or treating with the children.  Sandra way go with them or stay home and visit with Stephen.

A group of old friends from Colebrook are coming to visit me tomorrow.  I am really looking forward to them all.  It is always easy to be with old friends.

It is getting cold here in the mornings and is feeling like fall.  Hopefully the sun will come out.

ENJOY

 I enjoy going to the church service here,  There are about 10 of us,  I am getting to know a few more people.

I enjoyed going over to Sandra and Randy's house for a delicious supper and good conversation.

Good to hear from Ken and Carol.   Busy and happy,  Carol is busy drinking juice and resting and Panteli is doing it too,

Rick is coming over today and we will plan our day,  I may get my hair cut, I enjoy his visit and also enjoy Spenser.

ACTIVE FAITH

Can you see the cat.  I am at Sandra and Randy's?

I am trying to keep active.  I enjoy a long morning walk in the fresh air and the beauty of the trees to look at.  Yesterday I was very active and even went to play Bingo.  In the evening there was  a good movie.  "Anne of  Green Gables"  It went on too long for me.  I tend to get over tired and then I cannot sleep.

Melatonin helps.

Today I am looking forward to going to Sandra's for supper. I am happy here but it is great to get out into the real world.  I had a good talk to 

carol and she is coping well with fasting.

Sunshine helps.

Church service at 10.

Prayed for Carol

Time spent in prayer keeps my faith and hope alive,

memories

 

We may not remember what we had for lunch or where we put our glasses but everyone here has special memories some happy and some unhappy  They have all had adventures they can recall.  Ken remembers being in the army and going to Catholic school and having to remember scripture,  I tease him that he probably cannot remember them.  I sure do he replies one I will never forget and that was Jesus wept.

Dad was a great one for remembering his adventures

I remember the summer, a very hot summer in Saskatoon when I couldn't go swimming because I had a huge cast on my leg,  Our neighbor had been cutting down a tree when the axe flew out of his hand right over to where I was and cut my leg.  I felt no pain but was hopping up and down on one leg. They tied a bandage around to stop the bleeding, They rushed me to the hospital and after bought me an ice cream cone.  That I remember.

GOOD

 I had a very good day yesterday.  Going for meals and seeing old friends was life renewing,  I also had my nails painted by the teen agers from the school near by.  Young people are an inspiration and it is amazing how they like to be with us, 

I am looking forward to a good day with Rick as we go to the library.  I just have to find one book tat has gone missing,  That is not good and I am annoyed,

I am reading A Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd a good author I like.
