We were both tired today. Jerry looked nice; she curled her hair for today. Since it’s the last Friday of the month, they sang in the dining room before they ate lunch. Jerry wanted to stay and have an extra cup of coffee. There was a couple that were dancing and Jerry said “I wish I could take dance classes.” She was saying how Bud thought it was a waste of time, but not her. We met a man named John and talked to him for a bit. All the computers were being used so we weren’t able to get online at the Senior Center. I set up my computer in her living room when we got home. I thought I’d give it one more try, it’s so hard to get a connection at her house. I wasn’t able to show her the videos from last week :( but she did see the comments made on the blog. We are going to start going over earlier so she can check out the blog and facebook. She said she was happy I was doing this but sad that she couldn’t see.
Everyone have a good weekend!

I had a problem uploading the pictures and videos, but they are on photobucket now! :) ----->

Friday July 22, 2011

We stopped in the room with the computers first so Jerry could look at her blog and pictures on facebook. (I came over on Wednesday to show her pictures online and I couldn’t get on long enough. She did see Mandi’s consignment store though.) At the Senior Center today it was the biggest crowd we have seen there. After they sang we all left early to go in the dining room. They had a group there that were playing the banjo, guitar, piano, violin and harmonica…Get this! A song came on that Victor wanted to dance too and he asked me, I asked him to ask Jerry to dance, she was reluctant at first but then she got up and danced with Victor! It was so awesome! I got a video of it too! :) I really didn't think she would. Now I know better ;) Later she was saying how fun it was and if he asks her again, she will go out and dance. She said she hasn't danced in years and knows you will all love the video. She was talking about the Senior Center and said “I like it; it’s something to look forward to.” She really likes all her new friends she has there.

When I picked up Jerry, we were talking about our weekend and our week; she mentioned she asked Carol to go with her to the Senior Center and that Leslie came over, but “That was all.” I was telling Jerry I went to Eden to watch a soccer game. She said laughing “You go to some of the strangest places.” Jerry had a fun time at the Senior Center today. Her friend Glenna came and she was happy to see her :) Another guy Jack is really a jokester and was making her laugh, and of course Victor (The great singer) makes her amazed at how many songs he knows. “He’s the best singer.” Glenna will be coming to lunch next week :) and the Songbirds talked about their program in August, where all the different Senior Centers get together and sing their songs, we practiced the ones we will be singing. I took pictures of Jerry and her friends and she said “I’m glad they will be able to see all my new friends.” Jerry didn’t want to have lunch at the Senior Center today and on the way out gave Glenna a hug. It was a good day! (I’m going to stop by probably on Wednesday to show her the pictures and so she can see her blog.)

Today we went to the Senior Center. I didn’t come over on Tuesday because Jerry had plans with her sister. We had lunch after wards, Jerry said she hasn’t been very hungry lately but she did have a little bit of lunch. I guess I will be coming over just on Friday’s now. I hope she has a good weekend and a good first part of the week.

I can’t believe its July already! I hope everyone has a fun 4th of July weekend. Today they let us pick out our own songs. They let us decide to go up to the music stand to lead the song; Jerry got up today and led everyone in her song. She told me after wards that she was nervous about getting up there, but she wanted to do it :) She did a great job. Today at the Senior Center they had a band playing in the dining room. We left a little early from the room we sing in to go and see them. I even danced with Victor (He’s one of the singers in the group.) I thought he asked me on his own, come to find out, when Jerry was getting her lunch she went over and told Victor that I wanted to dance so he came over and asked me. Sneaky Jerry ;) They are planning a similar thing for the 24th of July and also something in August. The dining room is always full when they have special programs.
