The Missing Photo Albums....

It was such a nice day today. It was a day that was not too hot or too cold. We went up to Mom's apartment and she was not there. Not having Mom in her apartment and being downstairs with the other Oldies and Goodies made us feel so good. Tom cleaned up the kitchen while I looked for dirty clothes, and checked to see how the bathrooms were. Everything seemed fabulous but I noticed that the two photography books were sitting on her kitchen table. I knew I had to get them downstairs for the others to enjoy. When I finally did get the books downstairs, everyone wondered where they were and could not wait to look at them.

Soon Tom and I were downstairs looking for Mom and there she was in the mist of all the other Oldies and Goodies. She was smiling and was so happy to see us. In Armenian she told me she wanted to go home and all these people that were with her were crazy. When we got her back to her apartment she was so excited to see an Orzo salad, fruit salad, sandwich, and a blueberry muffin waiting for her. She told me that she was very hungry. She ate really well, and loved her coffee that Tom made. I went over to give Sherry a birthday muffin and Chris a muffin. Both of the ladies loved their surprises of a sweet  treat.

 Mom asking Tom how everyone in the family is doing?

We got Mom downstairs after she had told us what was new with her. To tell you the truth she talked for an hour straight but nothing made sense to us, but she sure was happy.  Everyone downstairs was so happy that we found the books, but I did not tell any of them that Mom had taken them. I gave Jim a photo of himself with his huge puzzle. He was so excited and so proud  of the photo. He kept thanking me and kept showing everyone the photo. Each time I sit with all of the Oldies and Goodies at the main area, someone is looking at one of the books. Some people can't wait for me to take their photo because they know it will be in the book. Some of the people are counting how many times they're in the book, and some people have asked me to take another one of their photos because they did not like how they looked... such as Mable.

Looking at the Photos books, and enjoying each pages especially the ones they are in.

Soon they came and got Mom for dinner, and she did go with them. Cathy, Ashley and I laughed because Mom is the only one that sits where she wants to sit. Everyone has assigned seats except Mom. Mom is like me, she likes to break some rules once in awhile.  Mom got up quickly and I did not give her a kiss. I guess she was more interested in where or who she will be eating with. I kept looking in the dinning room window and there was Mom checking out the tables to see who she will be eating with. She did not notice me looking. She just kept smiling and several times she helped others in their chairs. Mom loves to help others.........

Even Tank gets up to go to dinner. All the helpers start gathering everyone for their dinner. Some do not want to go and say they have eaten, and some can't wait to eat again.
