Wery Windy Weather


This is Dad in his new room and the other side with Larry sitting in Dad's wheelchair. No, Larry isn't in need of one as yet. :-) 

Saturday was a very emotional day of moving. Dad is now in his new room at Crest Haven Care Center. His room is much smaller than his lovely room at the assisted living. He left a family of friends there, but hopefully he will make new friends. The problem with a nursing home is that there aren't many people that can carry on a good conversation. Most of them don't even know where their room is or their name. 

He spent his first night there. The man from our church that was to lead the church service was unable to get there so the Home asked Dad to lead the service. He was needed. He did wake up to not having any shoes, though. Someone walked off with them. Oh, dear me. Such is life in a nursing home. Hope God takes me home before I need one. 

God's strength is what I went on yesterday. We started getting Dad in the van at 1 p.m. and we got back in the van to go home at 6:30 p.m. Everything was either moved into the room, into our garage, or still in a vehicle somewhere on Maple Street or on Elm Street. There is Tomorrow.

Wery windy weather. Sixty-eight miles per hour "wooshing" down trees and power lines to the north of us. Glad we had some of Dad's trees taken down this summer.
