Thankful for Small Joys

Monday night I went to a nursing home with my red hat group - Ladies of Grace- and we played bingo with the residents there.  I took some pictures and some of the ladies were so surprised that they could see their pictures right away.  We each had a few ladies that we helped.  This is the lady that I helped and although she couldn't move very well she was really very sharp mentally.  Dorothy  This lady was one that I had a conversation with  - she was such a serious player, but had a charming smile as you can see from the thumbnail. Serious Play We had so much fun with these senior citizens and I think that they could have played for a lot longer than what we stayed.  They loved wearing the red hats. It was a good experience.

    Nice pictures. Very good caputure of their emotions. Gotta watch out for those senior citizens. They're just like children, but with wrinkles.
