Hello, All,
Here I am having a cup of ginger ale. Seems simple enough but an accomplishment for me!

I have always loved company!

What a great surprise yesterday to see my former employee for many years and a beloved caretaker once my physical situation changed. It was great to see Joyce who brought her daughter and her husband with her. Now that she knows where I am, I hope to be seeing more of her.

If you happen to be at Valley View Mall and have a few minutes to spare I'd love to see you. Friendship Manor is located on Hershberger about five minutes away from the mall. Afternoons are great for me and I do love company.
(P.S. I've lost 8 ozs. Not a huge number but it's better than gaining 8 ozs...agree?)
Love to you all,
Addie

Hey!!!
Thursday, October 2nd
This time I'm sending out a big "Thank You" to my niece, Cheryl Gowen, for the beautiful greeting card I received from her and Wink this week. She's always been one of my favorites. I spent many weekends at their home with her mother and father, Gertrude (my sister) and Pete Fletcher.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and say "What the heck!" Last week when Tracy arrived for our evening visit, she found me in wet clothing. Naturally, she assumed my toilet needs had been ignored, so she summoned an aide. Lo and Behold, a change of underwear was not required. Obviously, it had been ignored long enough for my outer clothing to be wet and, obviously, the aide who finally got around to taking care of me just put the wet outer clothing back on me. Can you imagine????????
This seems to be the appropriate time to pass along a Facebook address for you to research. And here's a thought: Someday, if you're lucky enough to live that long, you may find yourself in a similar situation to mine. All of you need to be thinking along the lines of how you'll spend your final years. In home costs will deplete a life savings and financial resources very quickly. Unless you have unlimited financial resources, when you can no longer be cared for at home (wheelchair bound in particular), you're probably going to be needing the services of a nursing home. It's probably going to take a lot of people a lot of years to get it right. Now's the time to begin working to improve the situation.
Here's a Facebook address for you: https://www.facebook.com/nursinghomecomplaints
Until you hear from me again, thanks for checking up on me. You are remembered with love.

Hello, All!
Tuesday, September 23rd
Here we are - already into fall. Soon everyone will get busy with holiday plans. We don't get too excited around here about special days, but Thanksgiving and Christmas are not too bad. I even think I heard some whispers about a birthday party planned for me sometime around December 19th which is my actual birth date. (Shhh. I'll keep you posted.)
I'm getting excited these days about the greeting cards I'm receiving. Tracy reads every word to me and shows me pictures. You're all so appreciated for sending them. Niece Beverly Chrismon, your recent card was such a blessing. And, Niece Ann Basham, we loved the picture of little Audrey Jane Basham. Thank you for sending. Tracy gets almost as excited as I do when we share these.
Look who came to visit me recently! Tracy calls this my "granddog". Don't know about all that, but it was good to see her.
