Welcome! We are a Christian family who cares for elderly individuals in our home. There are so many quotes, stories, and photos that we wanted to share with our precious "Golden Girls'" families, which they could view quicker and could be updated easier on this blog than we would ever have time (and memory!) to share with them personally. We also thought others might enjoy reading and viewing along with the families on this great adventure of their loved ones' golden sunset years. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit with us and "The Grandmas"!

Happy, Happy, Birthday...



...To Grandma "D"!

Yesterday was our dear "D's" 88th birthday and we had such a lovely weekend celebrating!  Her sweet daughter, Kathi, flew in from out of state to be here for this momentous occasion.


Sorry this is so blurred...the flash wouldn't work!


It was such a pleasure to meet yet another one of "D's" wonderful children.  And yes, Mrs. Kathi and Mrs. Ellen are twins!


Johanna had a blast with Mrs. Kathi, and will miss her help in tying her "baby carrier"! = )



And thank you *so much*, Mrs. Kathi for the fabulous cookbook!  I can't wait to dig into it and try out some new delicacies...yummy...


Hmm...looks like Johanna found a babysitter in the birthday girl...


They took a lovely mother/daughter walk on this delightful October day.


Later on in the day, "D's" wonderful son, Tim came to the party and brought a lovely bouquet of birthday blossoms.


It was so good to have you, Mr. Tim and Mrs. Kathi!


A beautiful portrait (don't you love Grandma's birthday crown?)


"D's" firstborn son, Mike, sent this charming flower arrangement.  Isn't it stunning?  Thank you, Mr. Mike!


It was a very special weekend for "D" and we all so enjoyed it!


On Sunday, Grandma "D" went over to have yet another party at her daughter, Ellen and son-in-love, John's home, as well as her granddaughter, Stacy!  My, you are loved!
