A Visit to the Assisted Living Center....

I took a few of the teenage girls in the Bible study group I teach to one of the local assisted living centers Saturday afternoon to help throw a birthday party for two of the residents. My mom, and 3 of my kiddos joined us. All of the residents in the group were suffering from dementia or alzheimers...it is sad, but did offer up a few laughs I have to say. Especially when one of the ladies was walking the room frustrated and was talking to us and then said and I'll take that and that and she took Grace's Mikey Mouse and cup of chips and walked off. Okay well Grace was like what was up with that and watched her not taking her eye off of Mickey. One of the ladies working there eventually got it back for Grace but the lady was not happy about giving it up at all! So funny, there were a few other laughs too, but our real reason for being there was to celebrate their life, we brought cards and prayer shawls that we had prayed over for them. Enjoy some photos.

Other than that life as usual we always have interesting and fun things going on with our crew. Grace keeps us in stitches for sure. She is such a free spirit...let's see since the last post she had to get 3 shots - no tears! She loved the fact that she got bandaids after the shot (she loves bandaids - she thinks they are stickers!) so rolled up her sleever for another shot. They said never seen that before! (okay I am back - had to get Grace she was in the fridge - raiding the blackberries!) So let's see what else, oh yeah she did manage to cram playdough up her nose, let's herself out the front door of the house and one day got halfway down the driveway and then precedding to run down the street as I ran and scooped her up. She is clever, today I locked the front door so she went through the garage....oh and as for her and Lily well they are pure entertainment!
