We are settling into our new location. Mary says that we are never moving again. In the process of this move, by some unknown reason we lost some of Mary's summer clothes and her hearing aids. We have to say "huh?" a lot! I have a hearing aid but do not use it most of the time. It does increase the volume of the high frequency tones so I hear more clicks and clacks but there is some question whether that helps any. In the not too distant future we will get it checked out.
The living in the apartment is different but we are enjoying it. The people here are all great and friendly. The meals are good and quite ample. There are activities of one kind and another going on. We have put our 2 tower computers in the activity room and they are connected to my wireless internet connection in our apartment which appears to reach thru most of the building. I have started some instructional session and will get people "wired". Also they can prtactice and the the machines for games and text operations.
Ther in an exercise area with stationary bikes and a weight machine. However, we will continue with our vitacise band exercise program thru the Park and Rec. which we have been doing ever since we have been living in Salina.
The Drury Place Building has a flat roof and it had some leaks and we had a rain and some of the apartments got quite a bit of water! We had a little. The rooofers are here now and a new roof is being installed so we are hoping for not too smuch rain until it is completed. Then, it can rain a lot as we are behind normal in rainfall. The flowering trees however have been "doing their thing" so, there must be some moisture down deep.
Cleo has adjusted to the move. We find that there are severl cats who have brought their "cat moms" here. Cleo has not met them yet but DOMINO a black and white tom lives on the second floor as well as JETTA MARIE and SNOW. TOBY live on the first floor.
We really like our location, it is walking distance (we ahve haven't done it yet) to the grocery, pharmacy, bank and Wendy's and Dairy Queen.
We realize we are are very fortunate. Several of the people here have walking aids of one kind or another and there are 2 with motorized units to get around. Also there is a very spry 97 yr old who is very alert, straight posture and walks with a firm steady gait and takes the stairs with no problem.
I had a small skin cancer on my forehead removed this week. It was quite small and was totally removed.
