We went to visit Mary for her birthday and were happy to find several others there as well. She had a great day, and she appreciated us taking the time to come see her.

Today was a busy day. We drove to the store, the bank and Walgreens to pick up a prescription. Then lunch, ice cream and back to the apartment. Joe stayed in the lobby because “there needs to be someone up front to greet people!”

Joe is a master at Scrabble. He knows every rule and never lets anybody get by with anything.

Joe got to go listen to the choir practice today. He loves singing along, and many of his old friends make it a point to come by and speak with him.

We ate lunch the first day at Puckett's. I found out later that he hadn't been there in a few years. When we arrived the place was packed. A couple people we saw there had worked with Joe in years past.

​​

Joe really enjoys talking to people. The man behind the counter was so happy to see him because they hadn't seen him for a long time and had wondered how he was doing.

​​

The next day we ate at the Club luncheon, and Joe was in charge of greeting people.

​​

He's so sweet and introduced me as his friend who drives him around now. He told everyone that he had to shape up and do a good job because he had to impress me.
