we got our baseboards in yesterday and that is the last building thing to happen. The blind are in the future. The drapes helo the glare in the living area, but the study still needs help for the glare. we love the sun though
we love our apartment and are very happy. Julia gave Tom a big bag of walnuts today . HE mentioned at breakfast that he liked walnuts with his oatmeal. She said to follow her home and he could have a big bag of walnuts. Her sister had given her many bags of nuts.
Well, here we are in Otober 2025 and we mark 6 months of living in a retirement home. We have a comfortable apartment and enjoy three meals a day. we have all kinds of activities to attend if we choose and I play piano for 30 minutes every Tuesday for the ice cream social time. I also attend art class on Saturday. We take exercise most every day and enjoy walks around the lovely property ever so often. Right now I am waiting for Sam to put up a rod for my darkening drapes as we don't have our blinds up since we were flooded out months ago. The temperature is really chilly outside, but warm inside. We may have been close to 40 this morning. It is a beautiful sunny day outside and the leaves have turned yellow and are quickly falling to the ground.
We are happily settled again in our original apartment after extensive repairs from the flood. My piano keyboard was filled with dust and didn't play. The agency ordered ma a new one. Otherwise we are good to go. My Sunday school class brought 4 girls over and they cleaned up the place real good. God is good.
The workmen say they will be done painting on Wedneday, August 13.I am very excited. Now to get the floor down and we move back into our lovely apartment. It has been a long time, but we have survived and I think most of our belongings have survived the flood. Our little place on 3rd floor was adequate though crowded. Everyone has been so kind to us and we appreciate all thoughts and prayers.
Our apartment flooded on Friday and we were moved to a studio apartment, all furnished. We have been slowly moving our stuff here and are comfortable for the time being. Out apartment is being refurbished, so we want it ready when we go back , which I hope is soon. It has been hard for both of us, but we are making do.
We got to Church today and I played an American Medley for the special. It was well received, but I don't feel the need to play o a regular basis.
Will keep posting as we continue on this new journey.
At our Solstice living center, I lost 2 friends this week. One moved to another faclity for more care and one died in his sleep last night. of course that is what is expected, but it still causes grief. I try not to dwell on this too much.
We are adjusting to our new life and participate in more activities.
I play more piano than I did at home. My new keyboard is not satisfactory but I manage to practice enough to have music to play for 30 minutes every week day at a social.
We have lots of help in the apartment and with chores. All in all God is good and we are happy as can be.
I have a piano keyboard, all 88 keys and many sounds. It's not the same as my grand by any means, Its fun to practice on and play for fun . Barb sent me some pictures
