Christmas concert 12-3-11

Jo and I came in near the end but it looked like everybody was enjoying this recital.

A beautiful November 26

Jo and I had a nice visit with Dad, joined a little later by Rachel and David.  Almost 60 degrees.

Lunch at Coachman Square, 11-23-11

Kristin, Ted Brett, and Dad

Made the move yesterday.  The Mary Wade folks were very sad to see Dad go.  We arrived at Coachman Square around 1:30 or so, and they made Dad an egg salad sandwich (excellent) and me a Caesar salad.  Another resident, Ann, joined us and made us feel welcome.  The cousins, Bo, Stef, Tia, and the 2-year-old twins, Oliver and Max came down yesterday as well--coincidentally on the day of the move, I think.  Ruby the guinea pig made a big hit with the twins.  All in all, a successful day (tiring, though--for me at least).

Making a move

Dad is moving!  He will be making the move next week to Coachman Square, a very nice assisted living facility in Woodbridge (about 7 minues from us).  Mary Wade has been wonderful--he has been happy,healthy, has gained almost 10 pounds, and has been well taken care of.  We think, though, that Coachman Square may provide more stimulation and enjoyment.  (NB: They have an ice cream parlor.)  Douglas, Joanne and I took Dad for a visit last weekend and he liked it, and of course made a huge hit.
