Our third grandson was born yesterday, after two days of struggling to enter this world. Poor mommy. Our son Eli spent most of Thursday and all of Friday and most of Saturday with his newest baby’s mother, so it was I who took care of the two big brothers. I had help from school, daycare, […]

What a gorgeous day! Thank you, God, for such a precious gift. Even though I have been indoors for the most of today, I have so enjoyed the sunshine and deep blue sky when I looked out my windows. I woke up early this morning to set up a table to advertise what we do […]

I have never been diagnosed with depression, nor have I ever been depressed (just sad and very sad), but I know people who have been diagnosed with clinical depression and struggle with it mightily. I just came across this website and it seems to be a good one if you would like to know more: […]

Today is Sunday. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s (and other dementias) was a success yesterday…it didn’t pour down rain. It was quite chilly, windy and a little wet though. Wish I had worn a warm hat. I also wish we had set up a table to get the word out about Aging With Grace. We […]

We have had a good week and are looking forward to even better weeks from here on. We have three members now, and we have all the processes in place to smoothly onboard many more. I know onboard is not a word, but we are making a new word to describe what happens after a […]

I am very sad today. We have always known that we are not equipped to help people who are a high flight risk. We were not able to help a family today….well, not in the way they were hoping we could help them. We tried to entertain the grandfather who had dementia, but he missed […]

I’ve always wanted to sky dive. Perhaps I will someday. As with everything else, one must weigh the cost with the risks and possible outcome. Too much cost and risk at this point in time, I think, to make the possible outcome worth it. In the meantime (until I go skydiving) I am working to […]

Wow. What a week this has been! Lots of tours of the clubhouse given this past week, and we hope we can help each person we met. Did you see the article in the Herald Leader about the 54 years old gentleman who was forced to go to a nursing home? Please check out the […]

Our celebration on Saturday went well…met some new folks that we would like to get to know better. On Sunday, after church, we visited my Aunt Lillie and Uncle Ralph in honor of her 80th birthday. My father, who is 82, met us at their house in Georgetown, IN. We brought a slideshow of old […]
