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"!

June in bloom

Hello friends! It's been a long time (per usual). What have you been up to? June flew by (as did July and August...oops ;), so I don't really know where to begin...visitors, sunshine, activities, birthdays... God is good and all's right with the world!

We always enjoy our visits with Ms. Connie!


Johanna has really been enjoying these summer art lessons

Miss Ariella working on her van Gogh

Mr. Israel doing some fancy brush-strokes

Miss Isabella looking focused

Grandma Margarete has enjoyed browsing through old family photos...

...and being silly :)


We got to meet Mrs. Debbie, another of Grandma Glenys' lovely daughters

Johanna is always writing sweet little notes/poems to us and we write back. I found this poem from Dad and thought it was too cute not to post. :)

Summer sunshine and the last of our lovely blooming vitex until next Spring


Grandma Lorry has been working on coloring in Pierre-Auguste Renoir paintings

They make Science-learning look like fun

Hymn-singing with the Grannies


Conversations

Going out as a family is the best!

We had the awesome M.s over for a birthday...

...what? 651 years old?? Actually we didn't have two sixes so did 65 + 1 :)


Blue Bell is a necessity for birthdays

Sweet hugs...Johanna has known the M.s for six and a half years!

Late-night talks...

...and tickles!


Another day and Johanna is baking brownies for company

Focused

They're here! Azariah is such a cutie-pie.

"Did she just call me a cutie-pie? No sir, I'm a manly-man!"

Sharing with Grandma Margarete

"Can I have it back, please?"

Oh well

He looks concerned :)

Azariah was really enjoying all the attention

Johanna was enjoying girl-time with Amarisa and Eleora 

Miss Amarisa at your service!

Manly conversations

Fun with braids

We're here at the nail spa with Mrs. Sherry, Grandma Glenys and Jorgie Porgie

Coral nails everywhere!

Vanessa took Johanna to the Heard museum

"Courage, dear heart."

Going on a treasure hunt...

Dr. Jay came by to check out Grandma Glenys' teeth

Thanks for making the trip!

Hi Mrs. H.,

Good to hear from you! I think my summer posts are always really behind due to how busy it is...more posts to come, hopefully soon. ;) Hope you and your family are well.

Blessings,
Kaitlin
