The Housekeeper

One day a housekeeper at the care center was discussing "housecleaning" with me, when she added, "I just love to see your mother! Seeing her get up and walk again just makes my day! Most people here are just the opposite."

Today was probably Mom's best day yet (there have been lots of ups and downs!). Today she enjoyed visiting with her roommate, enjoyed a longer "walk" in the sunshine (with Joyce pushing her in her wheelchair) , and was generally more interested in her surroundings.

Iona (Linnet & Joyce too!)
Sorry I am slow to write or let you know I think of you more than you can imagine. Sure is nice to keep up with you this way and glad to hear of some signs of improvement. Nice to see your picture too and pics. of your surroundings. You're doing a good job, Linnet!
We are busy here in Costa Rica ...getting ready to head to Guatemala for the start of C. American convs. Glad you are being well cared for ...and above all we know you have the care of a loving Heavenly Father. Love, Doris Chambers

Dear Iona, Linnet & Joyce!
This is a great idea! Its nice to really be able to see you in your new home, Iona, and lovely to see your cheerful smile again! We (Geri, Laurel & I) just returned last week from convs. in Greece. Very special days and we came back with full hearts! I sure am thinking of you - is it easier for you to get messages this way or via email? Nice that you can be close to Linnet now and know you will be well cared for!
love you,
Lisa

Iona, I didn't get you called on the telephone at the right time today so I am sending this comment on the blog to let you know wee thing of you every day and hope you are getting along OK. We had a nice convention and wish you could have been there with us. Much love as always, John & Lucile
