| Such a gentle man |
Happy 123rd Birthday Papa! We miss you every single day....
And to our second father, who passed away on this date, RIP Lucien. Your self-deprecating humour is missed.
Tuesday and Thursday I worked hard on my Storyworth book. Now it just needs tweaking and a good proof-read.
Wednesday I took Bob to Walmart and then to a doctor's appointment at the Hy's Center and waited an hour for him. The wind outside was cool but the sun was warm on the Regal. Then he treated me to lunch at McDonald's.
Virtually every night Don comes over to watch curling and Oilers hockey. Sometimes I make a big salad, or he brings by hot food because he loves to show off his cooking. His ribs on Thursday night were spectacular!
Today, I was up early to take Bob to view a new apartment through the Edmonton Senior's Association, just 5 blocks west of his present location. His present Boardwalk apartment is huge, but freezing cold and dark,.. no place for an 80-year-old man, and the rent is ridiculous. Bob is getting a letter from his doctor to help him break the lease.
The new apartment is very close in size to ours at the Manoir and much newer and obviously very well managed. Pictures below. The apartment is 10th floor, facing south, so his air-conditioner will be required, and the building manager confirmed that their maintenance man will handle the installation.
It took about 10 seconds to make the decision to move... Tentative move-in would be April 28, Monday, at 2pm. Everything is falling into place.
Then we went to his TD bank and put stop-payments on Boardwalk and their energy company that is ripping off Bob too.
Now Bob has to confirm the moving date with his son who will rent a van so he can confirm, sign and pay for the move-in. Bob is a very happy camper to have such a nice subsidized place again. It has a fabulously monstrous activity room with exercise equipment, shuffleboard, ping pong, billiards, and much more. And there is a lovely Library room as well. He will be much happier there.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
