Country Manor Visit


Well, I cooked out, I did Pork Steak with Jack Daniels Ole # 7 with secret ingrediedents in it and we had Pork Steak, Baked Bean and Fruit, great dinner,
.

.

.The secret ingredient????? and the Pork Steak.

The next day got a call from the Office that I had left the grill dirty and a mess,  we live in Senior Citizen housing and there are 50 units here, some people have way too much time on their hands and went to the Office and complained, Oh well, sucks to be them....
.
 I went over to Country Manor Nursing and Rehabilitaion Home and joined my friend Karl, (Gary) Blair for the bi-weekly sing session for the residents.
.

.
I have a cousin Barb there who is a widow, a distant cousin Mary, also a widow, and I know about a dozen residents who live there.
.
.
Above is Karl's Grandaughter Shannon, very good singer complete with Cowboy Hat and Cowboy Boots.
.
as a matter of fact the whole audience was mainly women,  there are a lot of elderly genbtlemen there but they normally do not come down, just about the whole audience is in wheel chairs,
.
.
We were joined by Karl's grandson Sam along with grandaughter Shannon.
.
.
Finally Karl had 3 Grandchildren up singing for the residents, Karl, Sam, Paige and Shannon.

.
There is rooms that married couples share and there is one couple there, he is a WW11 Veteran, he got shot at the Bridge of Remagen while fighting, he still has the x-ray of the bullet he took.  Great Guy, his wife tells it like it is in no uncertain terms and I love em!!
.
The whole Community Room where we play was decorated as a country town and all the residents wore Cowboy Hats, scarfs.
We had a good time and so did the residents.
.


Don't forget, remember our service men and women!

What a wonderful time for the residents. I know they loved the picking and grinning. I bet they especially liked Karl's grand kids.

You guys do a great service, the residents probably consider that a highlight of their week.

Love you bro!!!! Love to Anna Mae!
