The wreath came with a hanger for the door. It is a very robust wreath! And the apartment smells great.
In keeping with the season, Joan, in Activities at Summer Trace, took a group of us to see the Carmel High School "Holiday Spectacular" Thursday. There were about twenty of us, including three mother/daughter combos. In the picture below, Mom is wearing one of many colorful (this one is blue-green) scarves she made before she had her stroke.
This picture was taken before the curtain went up.
This was taken as the program concluded with Silent Night. These two photos do NOT do this incredible performance justice, but you were not allowed to take photos during the performance.
They were selling roses in the lobby for star performers, so I bought one for our star, Mom. Here it is back in her kitchen.
Saturday there was a huge Holiday Bazaar at Summer Trace. Along with that, one of the residents set up this Christmas display in the lobby. All of the houses are handmade with plastic framework and yarn.
Mom enjoyed looking at everything before going to dinner.
Mom is doing well. We spent six hours the other day "getting organized" in her living room, including going over paperwork and updating her address book. I want to THANK YOU all for the stacks of lovely cards and notes you have sent to Mom over the past year. It just makes her day to get a card in the mail!
We also just went to a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan lecture which was presented for Summer Trace residents by the Butler University Pharmacy School. The students offered their services to research the best plans for any Summer Trace resident according to the specific meds they are on. We got a packet in the mail today with all the research done for us. Mom was thrilled.
Today we also switched over her wardrobe from summer to winter. Winter has DEFINITELY arrived in Indiana! Come see us! And thanks again for your cards and letters!
