WEEKEND 

Now we really have November weather, humid, cold, grey everything you wish to escape into a warm country. The morning went quickly by, with blogging, photos, and looking for ideas for forthcoming birthdays and Christmas. Of course I found nothing. 

In the afternoon we had to find capitals of different countries, and Jeannie the nearly 100 year old, found all except one, because the name had changed ! The other who is 102 years old, doesn't participate each day, because she finds our games often too childish, which makes me laugh !

 

On Sunday afternoon it was like being in a fancy fair ! Not only our group was there, but also visitors, grandchildren, children and families. We played a game called "Massacre" where we had to knock over the cans with two throws. The ball flew into all directions and sometimes it even hit the cans. 

The best was our 100 year old, who knocked over all the cans with one throw! In addition to our laughter and chatting, there was a birthday party. Solange was celebrating her 98th birthday and her extended family came. Solange had forgotten her birthday, although she was reminded of it just before the guests arrived, but Solange was still busy taking her afternoon nap. There was an atmosphere in our restaurant like in a banquet hal.

This afternoon we were not in a retirement home, but rather in a "mad" house. Everybody had a lot of fun and the eldest suddenly became young ! I was really tired when I returned to my room, but happy that it had been such a cheerful afternoon.
