My 94 year old Mother is in a Assisted Living facility. This is how we are allowed to visit with her ...looking at one another through a closed window, unable to touch or hug or kiss and using our cellphones to talk. We watched our father decline rapidly to the point of failing to thrive...until he died this past June...all behind a window. This virus and how best to manage it has been so cruel in so many ways, especially on our elders. It’s time to change the rules!
Excerpt from assistedliving.com:
Mount Carmel Home is an assisted living facility in St. Catharines, ON. Mount Carmel Home offers activities at their location for residents. These activities generally allow residents to maintain healthy lifestyles by encouraging movement and socializing with their peers.

. . . My Mom moved out of her Independent Living apartment in early June (pictured here), and just today (after 15 years) was finally moved into an Assisted Living (much smaller) apartment.
It's been a difficult move for her, but with a new place comes new things! New friends in this building, new views out the windows, some old friends she hasn't seen in years, and a different level of care.
I think my truck knows the way to Grand Rapids by heart now, perhaps my life will slow down just a bit now!
Have a great Friday and weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Welcome to Camelback Manor, the assisted living facility where Johnny Thunder and Sam Sinister spice up their golden years with thrilling adventures!
On this particular day, the grand event was a high-stakes Monopoly game, with a scrumptious cake as the ultimate prize. As luck would have it, Johnny emerged as the victor, playing fair and square. But lo and behold, Sam Sinister, being his mischievous self, had a different opinion. He dramatically points his hook at Johnny, accusing him of cheating with a twinkle in his eye.
In a delightful twist, the whole retirement community bursts into laughter, knowing that Sam's accusations hold no weight. However, little does Sam know, Johnny's wheelchair has been secretly modified with turbo boosters, courtesy of their mischievous grandkids. As Sam puffs out his chest, ready to challenge Johnny, our wheeled hero zooms away at lightning speed, leaving Sam in his dust, grinning from ear to ear.
And so, the Monopoly game might have ended, but the race for retirement glory has just begun at Camelback Manor!

Y'all have heard me talk about my mother's love of flowers. Her windowsill was full of flowers. They have obviously missed her, as you can tell by their droopiness. We found loving homes for most of the plants, and today we packed up the last ones to take home. The flowers will be happier once they get back to daily TLC.
Can you believe it? A bloom!!

Trying to help stimulate what is left of the Bunny with a simple reenactment of the Ruth Snyder Execution. Role playing helps my mom and me deal with the real chance of my future internment at Sing Sing for elder abuse. Sometime in the near future there will be prisons filled with the 65 year old children of 87 year old parents who just couldn't bear sending them off to a nursing home to be beaten and shocked and decided to to it themselves...

This is a shot of a rose, rose bud and a lawn globe in the flower garden at Jennings Center for Older Adults in Garfield Heights, Ohio, where I visited one of my hospice patients today. The Center has done a marvelous job of creating lovely natural spaces for patients to sit and walk outside. Jennings Center for Older Adults was inspired by the Sisters of the Holy Spirit and the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.

Ink and watercolor on location while visiting mom at her residence. Documenting her journey as she deals with an illness. This was the table opposite us at lunch. All the patterns and textures were so colorful, but none of the people at this table were talking to one another.

Today I restarted my daily walking program. Today my pedometer reported 3889 steps in about 20 minutes. Due to the fierce heat in Tucson, I walked back and forth through the corridors of a senior citizen assisted living facility I visited today to attend Shabbat services.
I am not a member, but they welcome guests.
There is also a delicious buffet kiddish afterward.
I am meeting fascinating new friends, each whom have their own story to tell.
I love that.
On my way out of the facility I passed a man who was walking and wearing headphones attached to a mobil phone. I had seen him before. He walks back and forth from one end to to the other. I had been doing that in shopping malls. I haven't done it in a while and I decided today was the day! I remembered I have a new App in my iPhone, so I started it up and here is the result.
Oh, the extra workout involved isometric exercises. Maybe next time. Step by step... (;-)
Shabbat Shalom and have a wonderful day, a wonderful week, and a wonderful year.

Kinda spooky, huh? But that's what it looked like. Single exposure, no hdr..., just cleaned out some powerlines. Hand held in the strong wind.

Yesterday Trish and I went to visit an assisted living place called the Ackerly.. It is next door to my cardiologist office and I have watched them build the place.. I wouldn't mind living there because the people seem to be friendly, The food is very good and it is very near my home.. The only thing is the money.. isn't it always.. Some where between 4 and 5 thousand a month.. I get about 2 with both of my incomes.. Social security and from the old Bell system...
This is one of the courtyards from one of the apartments that we looked at... Some of the apartments have the outside balcony and the one next to were I was had theirs all fixed up with potted plants and a hummingbird feeder and there was a hummer at work on it...
HAPPY WINDOWS WEDNESDAY, EVERYBODY!!
Well I have now spent 49 years on the planet. Mercifully, I've continued to be spared from the ravages of disease, intellect and good sense.
As I prepare for another spin around the sun, I'd like to thank the inventors of synthetic fibers, coffee, bandages, booze, sugar, cameras, butter, bread, and Photoshop. Without these things, my life would be far less than it is.
Here's to more good light...

Wesley Acres is a large retirement home in Des Moines. This panorama shows the Assisted Living entrance. It is architecturally open and accessible which is the quality that prompted me to take this shot.

Next time you’re in a place where it’s snowing, look outside and witness the power of God.
“Who has told ev’ry lightning bolt where it should go,
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun and gives source to it’s light,
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night?
None can fathom!
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You place the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing, God.
All powerful, untamable; awestruck, we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim, ‘You are amazing, God!’ ”
(Quote from the song “Indescribable”, lyrics & music by Laura Story; made popular by Christian singer, Chris Tomlin.)

Project Eighty-Five | Day 36/ 85
This weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph our youth group from church doing several service projects throughout the city.
One of the projects involved the youth hosting a bingo game at a local assisted living home. Just before leaving I noticed this wonderful lady working on a puzzle with a friend. I politely asked if she would mind if I took her photograph and she gladly obliged. What a sweetheart!
What struck me about this kind lady is her beauty and elegance. Since we were shooting all over the city (and ridiculously short on time ... my own fault) I'm ashamed to admit I didn't stop and just talk with her. Something that I always try to do. I really like this photograph for many reasons but the most is that it will give me the opportunity to return to that assisted living home this week and share this with her. More importantly, I'm hopeful I will have the opportunity to sit with her and learn a little more about her life's journey.
What a wonderful day I had photographing so many different locations. I am so proud of our youth for serving God and the local community in such a faithful manner. Blessed indeed.
I truly appreciate your visits and comments.

The Selfhelp Home was founded in 1938, as the Holocaust began, as a volunteer mutual-aid society where refugees and survivors could find community and rebuild their lives. Selfhelp officially became a ‘Home” in 1951 when it purchased the Drexel Mansion in Hyde Park, housing 19 residents. As the need surpassed space, Selfhelp purchased and rebuilt the building at 908 W. Argyle St. and subsequently expanded and purchased the 920 W. Argyle building next door several years later.
The organization in its advertising touts its service to Holocaust survivors. Here’s my experience. A friend’s mother was evicted from The Selfhelp Home some ten years ago because of insufficient funds. She was not only a survivor but as an inmate at Buchenwald was a slave laborer in the Mittlewerk bunker machining part for V1 and V2 rockets. The Jewish Federation of Chicago (the home is not part of the JUF) failed to assist her either.
