ELEVATORS

 Yesterday two of our three elevators were out of order.  The third one that brings our meals up from the ground floor were up and running.  My friend here was very nervous about going down in it so I went down with her.  I remember when I felt nervous  going in an elevator.  

Today they have been fixed I hope.

It is a long walk to my elevator for some people here.

Another beautiful red sunrise.  Rain in the forecast.

QUIET

I am worried about my teeth removal but trying not to be anxious about it. I believe it will be done carefully.  I am getting a little old for this, too old in the tooth.

Looking forward to Rick and Spenser visiting today.  I am running out of bread.  I do like my toast.  I told Sandra not to come yesterday but to get rested up after her trip.  I did miss her visit.

I am thankful for my room here and all the new friends I am making.

Ken is not making a fuss about the new girl at our table,  She is very sweet and quiet.

It is noisy here in the morning with trucks being loaded and backing in and out,   I do not mind that as I feel life is going on around me.  No fire works last night.

I am not happy I have another bladder infection.  I do not think it really  cleared up but it will be taken care of soon,

FAVORITES

 We gathered together in the big main lobby to sing all our old favorites.  A happy group just having a good time  I felt so special when I left to be a part of such a jolly group. 

Music has always been a big part of my life.  I was thrilled when I was allowed to join the junior choir at school,  I never missed any sessions.  It gave me a lot of joy. 

I am happy with my little room but I know I need to get out and be with others.

YOUTH

 A day for the young at heart.  In the morning the children from across the street came over all dressed for  Halloween.  They were swarming all around Rick as h arrived to visit me.  Later in the afternoon there was a big party with music and dancing.  and my  girlfriends who visited me where impressed.  I am happy here.

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.
