Today I had a pretty darn good day at my volunteer gig with the elderly. At lunch, I sat with one of my usual, ol' gals and met two, new ladies. My usual gal is having memory issues, but the two, new dames were sharp. I enjoyed talking with all of them. I try to be helpful during lunch by filling and refilling water and coffee cups. In fact, when I arrive to the dining room, I walk from table to table filling glasses so I can have some kind of interaction with everybody. One of only three black residents wasn't there today. I would have sat with her. She's in the hospital, I believe, being evaluated to see if she can still live in the home. Turns out she walked out of the home a week or so ago and could have gotten herself injured. Her memory isn't the best, so she's being checked out to see if she needs to be in a place more supervised. I wish her the best, 'cause based upon everything I've read about her online, she sure was one heck of a lady!!!
