Architects of a New Dawn

We’d like to show the side of the world you don’t normally see on television.

On a light-hearted note... thought I'd share some pics of my niece and I hamming it up while my grandson worked on his photography skills.

Laughter and fun are essential to the soul... to a healthy mind... and to having a good day. Here's a funny crone story.


The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place.

Grandma couldn't speak very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate. After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right.

A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left. Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her,
then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.

A nephew who arrived late came running up to Grandma and said, "Hi Grandma, you're looking good! How are they treating you?"

Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew, "They won't let me fart."

Jeanne,
This is such a great way to start my day----thank you for the laughter!
On my grandmother Hattie's 85th birthday, we all got together for a little family party.
She didn't want a fuss made for her, so we kept it quiet.
That night, maybe around midnight, my aunt heard a heard a commotion coming from Hatties room, and heard my grandma yelling.

She rushed in and found my grandmother, in a heap, on the floor of the closet.
She was rushed to the hospital with a broken hip.
That basically meant the end to her mobility and she was months and months recovering.
She ended up in a wonderful nursing home.
So, one day I went to visit her---she was quite alert, which was so heartening to me. I started to joke around with her and decided to ask her what the heck she was doing in her closet so late that caused her to fall.

She looked at me, with this weird look on her face and said "I thought it was the bathroom and was trying to sit on the terlit (that's how she said toilet) and the next thing I knew, there I was, plopped on the floor."
Blessings,
AW
