A Day at the Retirement Village
What a day! Jake was a smash hit as we went to visit his great-great grandmother in Greenville at her posh retirement village. When I say "posh" I mean that each resident has their own little mini apartment, the place looks and smells great, and the food is faboulus! They even play 42 and bingo here. Mama Kneggs is quit the 42 player so she is usually first to find a partner.
We arrived just before lunch so we had time to visit in Mama Kneggs' apartment before showing Jake off to the the whole place at lunch. He had a great time. After checking out all of her cabinets and her A/C unit, it was very similar to the type you would see in a hotel, it was off to lunch. The residents here that need walkers all have these really cool colorful one's that include a little bench seat. They were all thrilled to have Jake pushing their walkers around and they really wanted him to take a ride.
We enjoyed a delicous lunch which Jake even ate and then watched him as he went from table to table entertaining everyone in the room. There was a phone on the wall that would ring occassionally and interrupt his act as he had to go and see who it was for. After lunch we were beat and had to start back home, but Mama Kneggs really enjoyed our suprise visit and we both can't wait to go back.

Good food and 42, huh? Wow, I need to reserve a spot for my retirement! We could get rooms next door to each other, what do you think?
I'll have a really hard time deciding if I should room with you or Tony. He's just passed the 3 year marker so he's finally lived with me longer than you have. I'm sure they can find space for us. I'm glad you're back home. Maybe you can rest before school starts again :)
