dd 8 8

sliding back into normal dailies.. or at least trying to.

i thank the folk who came up with stanley halloway’s rendition of  three ha’penny’s a foot

there were several beautiful stanley renditions-- like albert and the lion-- ( which i must practice more often...)

today’s trip is rockport.   janine is loading the trailer as i sit and type.... it is called a day off  for me...-

we are apparently booked solidly for all of august..

we will try for a grant this fall... it could make a huge difference in our operation... lord knows the need is huge

every facility has a person in charge of entertainment-- it looks like the state may mandate this job to someone--- but what a lot of  overworked people, with no budget. they are suppopsed to fill all the days monthly-  that is why all the crayons and bingo cards.... 

i must admit,  i have heard whisperings lately about giving these facilities more leeway in ente4rtainment bt recognizing care-giving  is a job--- a very real job-- often a job someone inherits and does not willingly choose.    giving the job some recognition . of  financial benefit by the IRS-- i have heard whispers....

many thanks for the sell out--  our  fundraising field is anyone with either a mother or a father -- or both... that eventually will need... ask...  require your attention.. so my thanks to those who keep us going.. we are doing  a good job  filling a spot which should draw more attention than it currently does.. 

hmmmm. we try !
