Thinking of You

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Welcome to December 1st… a little of snow covering the city this morning puts us all in the mood for the holidays!

We got through a traditional family Christmas last year and I was negligent in my planning and didn’t get a volunteer for this year…. So I will take on the light duties and get everyone in the Christmas Spirit! Christmas Eve will be the time to pass the torch on to the next volunteer.

The Plan – Christmas Eve will take place at Lanark Place (thanks Nan for making the reservation) in the Chapel as the kitchen room was already booked. Festivities will start for 5pm with dinner at 6pm. We will ask that everyone prepare a dish of their choice (starter, salad veggies – what ever your specialty) and I will bring the ham. If you can let me know what you will bring I will post the menu on the Whaley Web (http://whaleysweb.blogspot.com/) so that you can all get some ideas.

Also, if you know that your family will have another commitment and won’t be able to attend, if you can please let me know just to ensure that we have enough plates and cutlery!

We are going to have a name draw for presents this year for those that would like to participate. If you would like to be in the draw please send me your names by Monday December 7th and I will let you all know who you have by Wednesday Dec 9th, we can put a limit to the gift of $20.00. This should give us all some shopping and wrapping time!

I did not have a contact for Ben Whaley so Terry, Rick or Amanda could you please pass this along.

As always, if you have any questions let me know otherwise I look forward to seeing you on Christmas Eve!

Happy Mother's Day Cecilia

How lucky we are that mom, (grandma,) is still in such fine form. On this, her special day, it's the perfect time to update you on her present circumstances.

The photo shows her getting her annual eye exam earlier this week at Lanark Place Retirement Center. With macular degeneration in her left eye the right eye more than compensates after laser surgery last year. In fact with her right eye she can read the bottom line of the eye chart at 10 feet with no glasses!

Her overall health remains excellent overall. She takes minimal medication, is quite mobile with the use of a walker, eats well and is alert and pleasant to other guests and staff. Last month our annual review with residence staff revealed she remains very involved with social interaction and, of course, with daughter Nan now on site as well, she has a well balanced and interesting social schedule.

All in all, life is grand for our matriarch who will celebrate her birthday on June 7 with 87 candles on the cake. As usual, we'll be throwing a little party and hope you can all attend. In the mean time why don't you give our old doll a dingle at 519-749-0958.
