Mother's Day, Sunday, May 11th

The residents on Mother's wing at Parkview Acres each got a silk flower corsage today--well, the ladies, anyway. Some of them also had cake and ice cream, but I think Mama was napping. They also got yellow "Happy Mother's Day" posters from a little girl named Jayden.

Mama got a dozen yellow-orange roses from her children. The short little vase seemed to "fit", somehow.

She got a few cards...and got to talk to Angie, Philip, and Gordon. She might have talked to Joyce, too--but she was too tired by the time Joyce's turn came around! We'll call Joyce another day!

Uncle Lael's Visit

At the beginning of May, Mom enjoyed a visit from her little brother!

Here's a picture of them together:

Thank you, Uncle Lael, for driving over to see your sis!

Joyce's Visit

Both Mom and Joyce were quite pleased to see each other! Joyce helped Mom get caught up answering mail, looked after her 'diet', and had some nice times with Mom...sometimes visiting a little, sometimes not. Little Brown Puppy-Dog also got to be in this picture!

Joyce also took Mom for walks in the halls. Sometimes Margie went with them. Mom and Margie are good friends. Here's Margie on one of their walks (this is Mom's hallway):
