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"!

Grandparents visiting

On their way back up north for the summer, Mom's parents spent about a week with us:

Lorry and Margarete, enjoying the beautiful spring weather!

Johanna showed Grandma around the garden

Grandma and Mom, two lovely women

Bella Bean brought her friend out to play

Tug-a-war with Grandpa

One of many piano performances for Grandma

The next day, Grandma returned Johanna's favor and played for her

Young at heart :)





Gathering in the living room for...

...present time

Silly Lorry

What is it?

It's small and electronic...

An iPod from all the kids and grandkids! 
Grandpa didn't know what to do with it, but after burning his favorite c.d.s to it and giving him the scoop on how to navigate, he's loving it!
