It was singing in the dining room on stage day! :) Jerry said she was nervous, I told her it was just like all the other times and she didn’t need to be nervous. She looked nice today too. :) We found out that in June they won’t be using their singing books, Hmmm I wonder what they have planned. After Jerry was done singing, she had lunch and met a new friend, Glenna. It was her first time there and we were both talking her into joining the Song Bird group. I hope she comes back; she seems like a nice lady. Glenna gave Jerry one of her business cards so hopefully she will call her. I’ll remind her ;) We stopped by Murray cemetery after wards. I was saying what a nice cemetery it is and she was telling me that Bub LOVED Mt. Olympus and thought it was pretty neat that he faced it. She was happy that somebody put a flag on his grave site. We stopped at Brian’s grave site too. She told me that she tells him good morning every day when she wakes up. She didn’t want to take any flowers; she said she would probably be going back this weekend with her family. She had a good day today.
(I'll add a video on photobucket. It's kind of shaky, sorry. Jerry is on the back row on the right hand side. I will also add a couple pictures on the blog. It's not letting me right now :( )

Today ended up being a nice day! When I came over, we talked about her weekend and checked out her blog for comments. She called Thelma, but she wasn't home. She said she needed to reorder checks, I did that for her and then she said she needed to go to the bank. After we went to the bank we went to ihop and had ‘breakfast’. She said she liked it. Afterwards, we went to Murray Park (We’ll take the stairs next time. We were going down a small hill and she ended up slipping, we saw the stairs after that). We walked around the park, sat on a park bench and looked at the clouds and talked about all the memories we had at the park and memories we both had when we were younger. She was telling me when she was younger, she and her girlfriend would hop the train and that her Dad would get so mad. “Oh the things we used to do.” When we were looking at the clouds, she mentioned one of them looked like Bud looking down at her. She used to go to the park with her sisters and with her kids. “They used to have a carnival that was so much fun.” It was a nice day and when I was leaving she said “Thanks for the wonderful memories Jody.” I thought that was really nice. She said she will eat at the Senior Center on Friday. She will be singing in the dining room too. J

(There are two more pictures on photobucket. One of Jerry and one of the cloud that she said looked like bud).

Jerry didn’t want to have lunch at the Senior Center today. After she was done singing, we went and used one of their computers so that I could show her the comments made on her blog from last week. She said she liked the picture of her in Terry’s truck :) She was happy about the comments too. They were having a 'yard sale' in one of the rooms; we looked at that for a bit. We went to Anna’s Café after wards for lunch; she said she really liked it. We stopped on the way home to feed the ducks but they didn’t want anything to eat. L It was kind of a rainy day and the clouds were dark and scary. When we got home, we visited for a bit and played with Pepper and her new toy she got the other day.

It snowed today! After a weekend of 80 degree weather, it rained and snowed! Anyway, today we just visited for a bit, talked about the weekend and went through the coupons I brought over. We looked at the calendar of activities and Jerry wanted to go and get ice cream. I had a coupon I'd been saving for Farrs; I know she likes ice cream. We drove up there and got ice cream. We were the only ones there; go figure ;) we went to TJ Maxx after wards (She said she had never been there before). We looked at jewelry; she said they had a lot of pretty earrings. She bought Pepper a new toy :) she said "He'll like it cause it squeaks." We came home after that, it was raining again.

Jerry was ready as usual when I came over to pick her up for the Senior Center. She mentioned that Cork had put up pictures today; we'll check them out later :) It was so cool today, everyone got to pick their own songs and when it came to Jerry's turn, she got up in front of everyone with her song that she wanted, and sang it at the music stand :) too cool! Especially when she told me she doesn't like being in front of people. She did awesome. She had lunch after wards there and then we got on the computer in their computer room and looked at all kinds of pictures and her blog to check for comments. It was a really nice day. Really warm too.

I forgot to mention yesterday that Jerry wanted to thank Dalleen for the beautiful card. She really appreciated it.

If you notice, to the right of the blog I've added a new link. It's called photobucket.com. If you click on this link you will see more pictures that I haven't added onto the blog. (Sometimes I take too many to add all at once). This way, if there are extra pictures you will be able to see them on photobucket. I will let you know at the end of the posts if there are more pictures on photobucket. If it doesn't take you directly to the site then type in lllJodylll as the user name and photobucket as the password. :)

Today I got to meet Terry. He came over with his truck, what a cool truck! He had it personalized for both his Dad and his father-in-law. Very cool Terry :) He said “We’re the

hillbilly’s from Spring lane.” Ha ha…Jerry said she had a nice Mothers Day, she said she got some beautiful flowers from Cathy. Jamie got her something to eat. She wanted me to tell April and Jennifer “Thank you for the beautiful Mothers Day cards; they were very beautiful. Thank you Thank you very very much. Grandma loves you very much; you’re my special grand daughters.” Ryan-“Grandma loves Ryan very much. He lived with his Grandma while his Mom worked. He was a very good boy, he went on a mission and I’m very proud of him.” We looked at her blog and the comments made on it. I showed her the coupons from the Sunday paper that I brought over. She said “Me and my grandma used to sit on the front steps and drink coffee.” We went to the store after to pick up some curlers and she even got some new earrings. We went to Wendy’s afterwards. She wanted to tell everyone- “Let them know how much I care, ALL OF THEM."

Jerry was ready to go when I came over; she looks nice. J The songbirds are practicing new songs to sing at the end of the month. They sang until 11:30 and then went to the dining room where they were having a Mothers Day program during lunch. Each Mom received a flower when they went inside the dining room, (Jerry even went and got me a flower too. Thanks Jerry!) She said her flower was her favorite color. A gentleman was singing while they all had lunch. It was a nice program and Jerry had a good time listening to him sing and talking to the other ladies there. It was nice of the Senior Center to hand out flowers.
I hope Jerry has a Happy Mothers Day this weekend!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's :)

Hi, I just wanted to let you know, I'll post todays blog either tonight or sometime tomorrow.
Thanks

Jerry was washing her curtains when I came over today. She mentioned she wanted to go and get new ones. Meals on Wheels came while I was there at about 12:20; I guess that’s later than usual. When she was done eating I showed her the comments on her blog. (She’s waiting for pictures to be put on there). We went to Kmart to get some new curtains for her kitchen windows, and then we went to cash her check that she got for her Birthday. We stopped and then we fed the ducks on the way home (We brought some bread with us) Jerry said “We should have brought a half a loaf.” When we got home, we took Pepper for a walk around the church. Friday we will go to the Senior Center. I’m glad she’s willing to try again J
