    The things that some human beings are capable of astound me.

    When I see the married couples in their 90's that live in apartments on the second floor with me walking together and holding hands or sitting together in the dining room I get a lump in my throat and remember that part of the marraige vow. Several have parted in the past six months but none due to COVID 19.

    I haven't had a chance to take pics of Linda's paintings yet but will do so. She told me today that her home is only one mile from here where we live. I asked her why then was she living here and she said her large home is up for sale and and this was the perfect move for her until it sells. She will continue living here and use her home sale proceeds to pay for assisted living. She has back and leg problems.

    Yes they serve both white and red with the evening meal only. Limit two glasses. Some residents take their own wine and have the server un cork it.

    No more masks or distancing done? Your Assisted Living place goes back and forth so much, I can't keep up with it. One day you have to and then next day you don't.
