The week started with Sunshine and in the afternoon we had 23°, like in summer (nearly) Usually we get together at 3 pm, but I saw people walking in the Park far earlier !
The next day it was the same and we played an outside game !
Unfortunately the nice weather disappeared the next day and it was again cold and rainy !
It was also the day to say good bye to our resident who had come here to empty her house and move forever to the South of France. Her husband was here to recover from a surgery and she had joined him to leave Belgium and take her husband home. Instead the husband passed away and she was suddenly alone to prepare the funerals, empty the house make all the administrative papers etc etc ! And she is not the youngest one ! 84 We became friends and I helped her a bit with her tablet but the poor girl is now on her knees ! She had invited our Manager and a few of the personal and another resident and me ! We emptied 3 bottles of Champagne and had a nice time !
Tomorrow we will have lunch together and on Sunday she is off to France !
My son will come tomorrow with Toby and introduce me to his dog !
Very sad for your co-resident. It is nice that you helped her. I don't think Rosie and a dog would be a good mix. Enjoy the company of your son and grandson.
ReplyDeleteFriends moving away is always difficult, but do you have zoom contact on your computer? And have a champagne glass on your computer desk to remind both of you of the farewell weekend.
ReplyDeleteSad case. The 84 year old lady came to take her husband home, and he died on her. She was left with the grief, funeral arrangements, emptying of the house, bureaucracy. Nice of you and of other residents to have helped her!
ReplyDeleteThat's sad about the resident's husband dying. I'm glad the weather was nice enough to go outside. How fun that your son and grandson are coming.
ReplyDeleteAlways sad to say goodbye but she will go away with fond memories of you. Hope the weather remains sunny for your visit from your son and grandson.
ReplyDeleteGood weather to be outside is always a fave.
ReplyDeleteI know you are having a fun time with your son and Toby and the dog. Not so much for Rosie.
You will miss your friend, I know.
Having a friend move away is always sad. It was nice that you had a lovely gathering with her before she left. How fun that your grandson is coming to let you meet his puppy. Have a wonderful visit
ReplyDeleteThe puppy will be entertainment for you and your new friends ! and wonderful to see your family along with the "new addition".
